Magic Marmalade 28th Mar 2021		Cassette Album Dionne Warwick - Greatest Hits Vol 2	I think the addition to the cat number on yours makes this a different product, requires a new entry I think. (Why is the "B" there anyway?)
Magic Marmalade 26th Mar 2021		Cassette Single Ringo Starr - Zoom In (2021)	After recent discussion about this on CDs, that it is an EP, I've changed this here cassette thingy to cassette single :)
Magic Marmalade 23rd Mar 2021		Cassette Album The Beatles - Timeless (1981)	Bootleg?
Magic Marmalade 23rd Mar 2021		Cassette Album Silver Beatles - Silver Beatles (1983)	Bootleg?
Magic Marmalade 22nd Mar 2021		Cassette Album Silver Beatles - The Silver Beatles Volume 2 (1982)	I've changed artist for this to "Silver Beatles", and added it as a pseudonym to The Beatles discography... so it now appears under their listing.
Magic Marmalade 14th Mar 2021		Reel-to-Reel Carpenters - The Singles 1969-1973 (1973)	Needs a new front cover image for this Carpenters tape.
Magic Marmalade 8th Mar 2021		Cassette Album Meat Loaf - Midnight At The Lost And Found (1983)	New entry made, images moved, and both now linked. (Have also corrected artist name here to: Meat Loaf - not: Meatloaf)
Magic Marmalade 8th Mar 2021		Cassette Album Meat Loaf - Midnight At The Lost And Found (1983)	Oops... that's the one thing I didn't look at! (Will do it later, when time permits)
Magic Marmalade 7th Mar 2021		Cassette Album Meat Loaf - Midnight At The Lost And Found (1983)	OK, I'm going to throw this one out to opinions here... ...should a separate entry be made for the reissue or not? Other than a hyphen in the catalogue number, a barcode, and a different label code, all looks pretty much just like a continuance of the original issue... but are these details substantial enough to warrant a separate listing? (Oh, and I notice now I look a little closer, the appearance of CBS / Sony being additional labels)
Magic Marmalade 6th Mar 2021		Cassette Album Donovan - Universal Soldier (1983)	I'm going to leave this one here along with the German made one for now, as they are distinct in a couple of ways, which, while not enough to justify a separate entry for other items, might be significant here due to the date of release: Country of manufacture Barcode. I'm not sure if they should be the same release for the same market, or parallel releases of the same issue for two separate markets. More info required.
Magic Marmalade 21st Feb 2021		Cassette Single Faith No More - Digging The Grave / Ugly In The Morning (1995)	I've made Slash the lead label for this and the other Faith No More tape, and added London as Other Label.
Magic Marmalade 17th Feb 2021		Reel-to-Reel The Ray Charles Singers - Songs For Latin Lovers	Odd question of the day: Was Ray Charles actually in this group, or in any way involved other than the name? (Should a link be made to Ray Charles discography, as a separate artist, or included in his discography?)
Magic Marmalade 10th Feb 2021		Cassette Single The Wombles - The Wombling Song (Underground Overground) (1998)	And I have changed the label to Columbia [Sony], in order that it appears in the correct discography. In fact, both the date of 1998, and Sony appear on the back cover of this item.
Magic Marmalade 22nd Jan 2021		Cassette Album Joe Dolan - Always On My Mind (1985)	Sometimes all you want to hear is a nice bit of easy listening swill... and nothing else will do! :) (Maybe this is a new genre: ELS?)
Magic Marmalade 22nd Jan 2021		Cassette Album Joe Dolan - Always On My Mind (1985)	I have added Harmac as an Irish label into the database, and changed all tapes to this, and finally deleted the UK version of that label... ... a brief tour of the internet has a consensus of sources that agree this is an Irish label, including this rather less than flattering appraisal: here (Vinyl albums on 45worlds have it as such too).
Magic Marmalade 6th Dec 2020		Cassette Single Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick And Tich - Wreck Of The Antoinette (1968)	So could these Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, Tich, Stitch, Mitch, Computer Glitch, and so on EP cassettes be among the first *cassette singles* ever released?
Magic Marmalade 5th Dec 2020		Cassette Single Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick And Tich - Wreck Of The Antoinette (1968)	Ah, thanks for the images, have now changed this to Cassette single by virtue of it's EP -ness :)
Magic Marmalade 2nd Dec 2020		Cassette Single Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick And Tich - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick And Tich (1968)	Have changed this to cassette single... as it has EP written on it.
Magic Marmalade 2nd Dec 2020		Cassette Single Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick And Tich - Wreck Of The Antoinette (1968)	Can someone who knows give me some info on this.... ....is it a cassette album or single?
Magic Marmalade 4th Jul 2020		Cassette Album Various Artists - The Spirit Of Christmas (2001)	Thanks Judge.
Magic Marmalade 3rd Jul 2020		Cassette Album Various Artists - The Spirit Of Christmas (2001)	Is this Hallmark label the same one as the others? (Same company?) (We also have a Hallmark Cards label, which this logo looks like)
Magic Marmalade 3rd Jul 2020		Cassette Album The Shadows - An Hour Of The Shadows (1986)	Should this label name be: Hour Of Pleasure EMI... Or EMI Hour Of Pleasure... or left just as Hour Of Pleasure?
Magic Marmalade 31st May 2020		Cassette Album Charlotte Church - Enchantment (2001)	Should this be Sony Classical first... then Columbia [Sony] as other label? neither label appears alongside the other on the tape of cover.
Magic Marmalade 23rd May 2020		Cassette Album Sidney Bechet - 1923 (1986)	Where does the "52" go in the cat number... before the number, or after... and is attached to the number, or is there a space betwixt?
Magic Marmalade 23rd May 2020		Cassette Album The Beatles - Rockin' At The Star-Club	Then of course, there's this to muddy the waters!!! An EMI group band appear on the US CBS Columbia label released in a semi European nation - Doh!!!
Magic Marmalade 19th Jan 2017		Cassette Album The Jam - The Greatest Hits Of The Jam	I thought there were more of these here... I even added added a Fleetwood Mac one myself (?) However, there is a "space" over at Spaces for these. (I'm sure they'd welcome the addition there, or if you let them copy it over :) -Ah, that's it... they are on the 747 label, also using Thomsun Cassettes, although yours doesn't seem to have that label on it -
Magic Marmalade 17th Mar 2016		Cassette Album 1st Bn. The Argyll And Sutherland Highlanders - Pipes And Drums Of The 1st Bn. The Argyll And Sutherland Highlanders (1968)	This one is going to take some work to get into shape, as each track (as listed in the inlay) is a medley by different composers, yet is listed by the leading title as I have entered it above on the tape itself, to the exclusion of all other titles. Additionally, I was unsure as to how to enter the label - Music for Pleasure, Musicway, or Music For Pleasure - Musicway? So I entered it as the last one. I'll get images up for this shortly so that it can be considered by others.
Magic Marmalade 1st Feb 2016		Cassette Album Leo Sayer - Living In A Fantasy (1980)	Just fired up the old tape deck.... Once I'd troweled the carpet of dust and small animal carcasses of it, and run the head cleaner tape through a few dozen times, I found this was one of the few I had to hand to test the deck, and satisfy my curiosity... (It was either this, or The Muppets) ... surprised by the quality of the audio actually, I don't know what it is, but when technology progresses, or changes we somehow get conditioned to imagine the worst of the older technology... like Pavlov's dog or something (Is that a correct analogy?) - You imagine what the audio might sound like, compared to a CD or something, and cultivate a disdain for the medium: "It's old, so therefore it must be useless, and sound awful" (Kind of thing) But I think I can get some good quality MP3 files from them actually, if this is anything to go by. And if so, I'll be buying all those abandoned (and super-cheap!) cassettes in charity shops by the ton. Lots of cheap music!!!! (I might try that Maria Callas tape set I saw in the loft later). ((Quite like this album too, actually))
Magic Marmalade 14th Dec 2015		Cassette Album Marillion - Misplaced Childhood (1985)	[YouTube Video]
Magic Marmalade 14th Dec 2015		Cassette Album Marillion - 'The Theiving Magpie' (La Gazza Ladra) (1988)	[YouTube Video]
