Jasper 7th Aug 2017		Cassette Album Deborah Harry And Blondie - The Complete Picture: The Very Best Of Deborah Harry And Blondie (1991)	@Quad5point1 - just a tip that was given to me a while back - when scanning clear shells turn the tape around 90 degrees when scanning and you won't get the white scan lines running through the image.
Jasper 7th Aug 2017		Cassette Album Dire Straits - On Every Street (1991)	Definitely should not be International - causes enough havoc in CD World without mentioning it here.
Jasper 31st Jul 2017		Cassette Album John Farnham - Whispering Jack (1986)	Added clear housing variant.
Jasper 28th Jul 2017		Cassette Album Billy Holiday - Billie's Blues (1990)	Yeah there are similar looking U.K. T Rex releases on this site that are on the Sierra label e.g. here but maybe not related. I can't find any reference to a "Replay" label elsewhere. It may be a case as you say for no label listing.
Jasper 27th Jul 2017		Cassette Album Billy Holiday - Billie's Blues (1990)	I have listed the label as RCA because of the wording - "Manufactured for RCA Ltd. Australia" on the tape housing. This label could be wrong as could the "Relay" label on this Gene Chandler cassette entered here - both bought in 1990.
Jasper 24th Jun 2017		Cassette Album The Platters - Platters Anniversary Album	Added tape shell images to this album better known as "The Platters 10th anniversary Album".
Jasper 12th Feb 2017		Cassette Album Creedence Clearwater Revival - Chronicle	Bought this one In Kuala Lumpur in 1978. Found it amusing that they could misspell Creedence as "greedence" on the cover.
Jasper 29th Dec 2016		Cassette Album Fastway - Trick Or Treat (1986)	Tape shell trashed added for completeness, if someone has better please replace images.
Jasper 29th Dec 2016		Cassette Album Bay City Rollers - Dedication (1976)	I don't have the inlay for this one - just the cassette.
Jasper 22nd Dec 2016		Cassette Album Carly Simon - Hotcakes	Had this great idea to use Oomph glue remover to wipe off a couple of sticky spots on the cassette shell.
Jasper 29th Oct 2016		Cassette Album Shirley Bassey - A Tapestry Of Hits	Released on the budget priced Tempo label. The track listing has 'This is my life' twice at No7 and No15. Track No7 is in fact 'Send in the clowns'. This is a re-release of the 'I Am What I Am' album originally on the Towerbell label.
Jasper 1st Oct 2016		Cassette Album Rolf Harris - All Together Now! (1982)	As a matter of interest the Axis label started in 1972 - all early releases had a black and white label. I am confident that this tape is from 1982 as listed.
Jasper 13th Sep 2016		Cassette Album Rolf Harris - All Together Now! (1982)	Thanks TopPopper - I go by the database of Selected EMI LP series - 1953–1985 compiled by Michael De Looper. Generally the cassettes were released simultaneous with the vinyl release. Discogs also has the vinyl release as 1982. I purchased quite a few of these AXIS budget label releases new and kept a detailed record of dates purchased etc. and this cat# fits that time scale. Always open to correction if someone has better reference material.
Jasper 11th Sep 2016		Cassette Album Rolf Harris - All Together Now! (1982)	The date of this release is incorrect. It is a re-release of the original EMI (Columbia label) recording on the budget priced AXIS label from 1982.
Jasper 14th Aug 2016		Cassette Album Acker Bilk - The Best Of Acker Bilk Volume 2 (1981)	Release date for this would be early 80s.
Jasper 26th Jul 2016		Cassette Album Acker Bilk His Clarinet And Strings - Some Of My Favourite Things (1973)	I have 2 copies of this cassette with identical inlays except for the wording at the bottom of the track list - what I believe is the older (original) version has Distributed by Radio Corporation Pty. Ltd. Manufacturers of Astor Records and the newer version has Manufactured and Distributed by Astor Records Pty. Ltd. also the copyright control for track 12 has been changed from Castle to Intersong. Older tape housing has the blue stripe and newer one has the yellow.
Jasper 5th Jul 2016		Cassette Album Bob Seger And The Silver Bullet Band - Nine Tonight (1981)	I no longer have the inlay for Cassette 1.
Jasper 20th Jun 2016		Cassette Album Spandau Ballet - The Singles Collection (1985)	I don't have the bonus cassette of this set.
Jasper 20th Jun 2016		Cassette Album Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life (1976)	I only have cassette 1 of this 2 cassette set.
Jasper 6th Jun 2016		Cassette Album Eurogliders - Absolutely! (1985)	Contains 12" mixes of "The City of Soul" & "We Will Together". Another cassette release with the same catalog number has only "We Will Together" as the 12" Mix.
Jasper 6th Jun 2016		Cassette Album The Proclaimers - Sunshine On Leith (1989)	The inlay shows that it should be recorded on BASF chrome tape but the tape housing/shell (images just added) looks very plain so I'm not so sure.
Jasper 31st May 2016		Cassette Album Frankie Laine - The New Frontier	Head-shot from the Hell Bent For Leather album cover used on this budget re-release of Call Of The Wild.
Jasper 24th May 2016		Cassette Album Lesley Gore - The Canvas Can Do Miracles (1982)	Not only Lesley Gore misspelled as Leslie Gove on the tape housing but also track 3 on inlay is Haven't Got Time For The and on the tape is Haven't Got Time also track 4 on inlay is Your The One That I Want and on the tape is You The One That I Want - both wrong should be "You're The One That I Want" as per the song from "Grease".
Jasper 12th May 2016		Cassette Album Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac (1975)	Interestingly the entry for this on Discogs has the same Reprise cover/inlay but the tape housing has an "Atlantic" logo on it.
Jasper 7th May 2016		Cassette Album Gilbert O'Sullivan - Spotlight On Gilbert O'Sullivan Vol. II (1981)	Thanks PhilMH there is a Spotlight on Gilbert O'Sullivan 2LP UK set on Discogs - 2nd lp matches these tracks. It is listed as 1981 so I will go with that.
Jasper 19th Dec 2015		Cassette Album Various Artists - Howlin' For Hits (1984)	All lyrics included in foldout inlays - my inlays are a bit tatty. I have added additional track information in notes and comments as I have not had much luck getting tracks added to tapes. [Mod Edit: Tracks added]
Jasper 18th Oct 2015		Cassette Album Stevie Wonder - In Square Circle (1985)	Thanks PhilMH I'm happy to go with whatever shows some consistency - the earlier Hotter Than July tape that I entered just had Motown everywhere so I went with that.
Jasper 18th Oct 2015		Cassette Album Stevie Wonder - In Square Circle (1985)	A bit confusing with the label - inlay/spine etc. have Motown label logo and tape housing has Tamla logo.
Jasper 17th Oct 2015		Cassette Album Stevie Wonder - Hotter Than July (1980)	Thanks RC - I have requested a correction. (Mod. comment: done!)
Jasper 16th Oct 2015		Cassette Album Various Artists - Celebrate '88 (1988)	RC - you're always quick off the mark with this type of entry - must be your forte.
