JPGR&B SUBS 21st Sep 2018		Cassette Album Paul McCartney - Egypt Station (2018)	If any contributors have this and can add the catalogue number and scans, that would be great.
JPGR&B SUBS 6th Jun 2017		Cassette Single Paul McCartney And Elvis Costello - (Demos) (2017)	I think this should be deleted. Copies on sale in the UK and Europe appear to be all the same as the US release.
JPGR&B SUBS 21st Mar 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - 20 Hits (1983)	I note the track listing in different from the LP release, and other labels of course apart from Polydor have subsequently released the Sheridan recordings Audiofidelity to me do appear semi legitimate and I certainly bought all the vinyl LPs in a record store, most of them from either HMV in Oxford Street, London or from a Woolworths store, so I would want all the albums (most of which I posted ) left as they are and not put under Bootleg (please). In addition, many well-regarded Beatles discography books do not refer to the vinyl LPs as bootlegs. Perhaps just leave this cassette as a bootleg.
JPGR&B SUBS 21st Mar 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - 20 Hits (1983)	In 1981 Audiofidelity took over the British packaging of the Star Club tapes and initially released them across two LPs on their Phoenix label. Over the 1980s they continued to rehash them over a number of their labels: Phoenix Phoenix10 Phoenix 20 and issued the Decca auditions: Audiofidelity They weren't the only company of course that had released the Star Club tapes. The original release of the tapes came in the in the 1970s: Bellaphon Lingasong And in the 1980s also by: Breakaway Topline So I think Phoenix stands alongside all of these as it is, not as a Bootleg but an opportunistic company trying to make some money out of Ted "King Size" Taylor's recordings from the Star Club. Of course, when Lingasong released the original vinyl album on CD in 1996, The Beatles / Apple finally decided to do something about it and filed a lawsuit (probably spurned on by the fact that they were releasing the Anthology series). Lingasong lost the case in 1998, and agreed to stop all sales of the album and surrender the original tapes to The Beatles. For more see this newspaper report from Saturday 9 May 1998.

JPGR&B SUBS 12th Jan 2013		Cassette Single Pete Wylie And Wah! - The Mongrel... (1991)	Graham7, my preference would be: 1st image: front without side panel 2nd image: back without side panel 3rd image: front with side panel 4th image: back with side panel (if other side panel is different) 5th and 6th images: A and B sides of cassette We're still finding our way with cassettes and images.
JPGR&B SUBS 8th Jan 2013		Cassette Single The Beatles - Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You (1991)	kab2112, I appreciate the reverse of the cassette case carries both the Parlophone and Apple labels, but I would be minded to list on the Parlophone label all those that were originally released as 7" on Parlophone and only list cassettes from Hey Jude onwards (the first Beatles 7" on Apple) as Apple cassettes. I'll make the changes in due course.
