mlgh224 SUBS 9th May 2015		Cassette Album Various Artists - Smile Jamaica (1983)	No cassette images I'm afraid as the tape jammed, largely as a result of repeatedly winding it back to play this.... [YouTube Video] I opened it up to try a repair but it ended up all over the floor!
mlgh224 SUBS 16th May 2014		Cassette Album ABBA - Greatest Hits	Orbiting Cat - If there are many microcassettes, then we can add it as a new tape format. Not Tape Media I realise, but while on the new category subject, maybe Mini Discs could be squeezed in somewhere as there are a few of those about. On a similar basis to 'Tape Media' with different categories, have 'Optical Media' with categories such as CD Albums, CD Singles, DVDA, SACD, Mini Discs and so forth. I am however a complete ignoramus with respect to how 45 Cat / Worlds work 'under the bonnet' so maybe this is a complete no no.
mlgh224 SUBS 12th May 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - The Beatles Box (1980)	'World Records' rather than 'World Record Club' (see inlay card top image) then the label would match up with World Records on Vinyl Album World. The Vinyl release of this box set is down as EMI / World Records, although I think the EMI bit should be got rid of, it would then join the rest of the WR releases. ....I'm no expert though! Just to confuse things, on VA World the individual LPs are also listed separately and entered as Parlophone!
mlgh224 SUBS 12th May 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - The Beatles Box (1980)	Should this (and the other seven) be listed under 'World Records' rather than Parlophone? I know World Records were owned by EMI from 1965 on so boundaries are a bit vague, but it looks like a World Records cat #, and their logo is above the Parlophone logo on the labels.
mlgh224 SUBS 11th May 2014		Reel-to-Reel Hamburg Pro Musica - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite	Not sure really. Their early vinyl releases were pressed by Pathe Vox in France, reasons for this can be found here (scroll down about 1/3). Tapes are mentioned, but in no detail.
mlgh224 SUBS 8th May 2014		Reel-to-Reel George Stone - 51 Organ Skating Favorites (1964)	Musicor released several albums of 51 -----.
mlgh224 SUBS 6th May 2014		Reel-to-Reel Booker T. And The M.G.'s - Soul Limbo (1968)	.... and if you're a cricket fan you'll recognise the title track...... [YouTube Video]
mlgh224 SUBS 6th May 2014		Reel-to-Reel The Borderlanders - Tijuana Party	No labels as I suspect my tape is not on the original reel.
mlgh224 SUBS 6th May 2014		Cassette Album A Certain Ratio - The Graveyard And The Ballroom (1985)	Sorry Biggie, I'm afraid this is the only one I've got.
mlgh224 SUBS 6th May 2014		Cassette Album A Certain Ratio - The Graveyard And The Ballroom (1980)	Re-packaged and re-issued in 1985.
mlgh224 SUBS 4th May 2014		Cassette Album Chris Sievey - Denigration Now (1982)	No track details on card or labels, so unsure of exact titles. Denigration Now was a video produced by Chris Sievey on Razz ( cat# CV 3). I've added images of the video case for information until there is a VHS category in Tape Media World!
mlgh224 SUBS 1st May 2014		Cassette Album The Freshies - Rough 'N' Ready (1980)	Discogs images for this shows a rather more up-market cassette case and labels than mine.
mlgh224 SUBS 1st May 2014		Cassette Album The Everly Brothers - Rip It Up / Pure Harmony (1984)	Cassette release by Ace Records of two early albums by The Everly Brothers, "Rip It Up" (1 -12) on side 1 and "Pure Harmony" (13 - 26) on side 2. No date on card or labels but issued approx 1984.
mlgh224 SUBS 28th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Various Artists - Mad Mix II (1983)	A useful link with details of other NME cassette releases.
mlgh224 SUBS 28th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Chuck Berry - Chuck Berry's Golden Decade (1972)	Sadly this is in reprocessed stereo.
mlgh224 SUBS 28th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Nazareth - Rampant (1974)	@ Raedwald .. Thanks.
mlgh224 SUBS 26th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Neil Diamond - Hot August Night (1972)	Sorry about the sellotape on the cassette images!
mlgh224 SUBS 26th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Nazareth - Rampant (1974)	My original cassette warped so I put the tape into a different shell, hence no images of labels.....so if anyone could provide them...
mlgh224 SUBS 24th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Elvis Costello - 10 Bloody Marys & 10 How's Your Fathers (1980)	The shiny gold cassette hasn't scanned well.
mlgh224 SUBS 24th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Janis Ian - Night Rains (1979)	[YouTube Video]
mlgh224 SUBS 23rd Apr 2014		Cassette Album Roy Buchanan - Roy Buchanan (1972)	Fine record, and the tape still plays after all these years. Sadly I don't have it on vinyl and to date it's not on Vinyl Album World (UK pressing). [YouTube Video]
