nboldock 20th Jun 2014		Cassette Album Chicago - Chicago	I tend to agree with TP here, and I'd certainly leave it as it is for now and see if anyone can shed any light on it.
nboldock 16th Jun 2014		Cassette Album Randy Crawford - Windsong	Interestingly for a European release, the main language on the cassette labels is not English, but Spanish (or is it Portuguese?). Perhaps this was a continental (i.e. mainland Europe excluding UK) release? I'm guessing, but could be. Note also, Spanish text on the inlay.
nboldock 9th Jun 2014		Cassette Album Herman's Hermits - No Milk Today (1988)	My guess would be re-recordings but that's purely a guess...
nboldock 2nd Jun 2014		Cassette Album Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'N' Roll	CSL (a.k.a. Creative Sounds Limited) was (is?) an American budget reissue label.
nboldock 31st May 2014		Cassette Album Hound Dog And The Megamixers - Greatest Ever Christmas Party Megamix (1992)	I don't have the tape for this one. I suspect this may be a blessing in disguise.
nboldock 31st May 2014		Cassette Album Dame Wendy Hiller - Jane Eyre By Charlotte Brontë (1984)	Don't have the box/case for this but have added a scan to show what the cassettes look like. Perhaps someone else will add the missing images at some point in the future.
nboldock 28th May 2014		Cassette Album Blood, Sweat And Tears - Greatest Hits (1972)	Haha! Close! I will fix this.
nboldock 23rd May 2014		Cassette Album Spyro Gyra - Morning Dance / Catching The Sun (1980)	Scans added. Note the inlay contains a short list of some other MCA "Twinpax" releases - not enough detail to enter them on here (no tracklistings for starters) but possibly useful for future reference.
nboldock 16th May 2014		Cassette Album ABBA - Greatest Hits	Another one here, a bit of digging on the internet suggests there are more... how many? Probably not many but worthy of a specific category? EDIT: The "HalTapes" label released quite a few of them - like this one.
nboldock 16th May 2014		Cassette Album ABBA - Greatest Hits	What an odd thing. Were there any more of these, does anyone know?
nboldock 14th May 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - The Beatles Box (1980)	Yes sorry - I meant "World Records" - y'er quite right.
nboldock 12th May 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - The Beatles Box (1980)	Yes, we would put Parlophone as the secondary label I think.
nboldock 12th May 2014		Cassette Album The Beatles - The Beatles Box (1980)	World Record Club for me, yes - any more for any more?
nboldock 10th May 2014		Cassette Single Robson And Jerome - Unchained Melody / (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs Of Dover (1995)	Cassette variation added: - different shell (see spools/wheels) - copyright notice at bottom laid out differently - composer credits not all upper case Side 2 same (aside from the side number) so haven't bothered adding.
nboldock 2nd May 2014		Cassette Album Various Artists - Top Of The Pops 60s (1996)	Haha, absolutely. And it sounds miles better if you sprinkle sugar on it!
nboldock 1st May 2014		Cassette Album Peter Cook And Dudley Moore - Comic Relief And PG Tips Presents An Evening With Peter Cook And Dudley Moore And E.L. Wisty (1995)	I've created a list of these tapes in order to group them together. Four so far. Is that all of them??
nboldock 28th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Hillsong - Hillsong Instrumental Series Volume 1 (1999)	This is an Australian label specialising in Christian music by the looks of things, but the inlay states it is a UK-distributed release so I've aligned it as such.
nboldock 28th Apr 2014		Cassette Album James Last - Maestro Of Melody Volume 3	This is part of a boxed set but I only have this tape in my possession. If/when the box gets added (if it does) then we can merge this entry if needs be.
nboldock 27th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Luciano Pavarotti - Neopolitan Songs (1979)	I don't have the cover for this, only the tape.
nboldock 27th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Sharron Davies - Sleep-Fit! With Sharron Davies	I don't have the tape for this one.
nboldock 27th Apr 2014		Cassette Single INXS - Suicide Blonde / Everybody Wants U Tonight (1990)	I don't have the sleeve/cover for this one, only the tape. I'm sure someone will fill in the gaps at some point.
nboldock 27th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Ray Conniff - We Wish You A Merry Christmas	Note the word "Christmas" is notable by its absence from the front cover!
nboldock 24th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Apu - Uchuracay (1989)	Ah, so it does, I didn't spot that.
nboldock 23rd Apr 2014		Cassette Album Apu - Uchuracay (1989)	...isn't the artist on this "Uchuracay"?
nboldock 23rd Apr 2014		Cassette Album [no artist listed] - French Words (1993)	Originally accompanied by a book (which I don't have) which it seems the young listener would follow while listening to the tape (I assume, from the context of the inlay notes - scans to follow).
nboldock 23rd Apr 2014		Cassette Album Chants de Taizé - Chanter Ensemble (1982)	I'm not sure whether I have the right artist name / album title here but I'll get the scans up soon and perhaps our Francophone users can then confirm or advise.
nboldock 22nd Apr 2014		Cassette Album Badness - Skasoles! On Tour (1995)	I emailed Badness to find out about a release date for this and here's the response from lead singer Mike Watts: The date we recorded the tape was March 1995, it was recorded at Wall to Wall studios in Hull by the original line up of Badness after only forming 8 months earlier. MIKE WATTS (vocals) CHRIS GOUGH (guitar/vocals) PAUL PETERSON drums/vocals BOB STEPHENSON (bass) STEVE FLOWERS (keyboards) JOHN WELFORD (sax) DAVE CLEMENTS (trumpet) Now in our 20th year I'm the only original member in the band & remember the recording fondly. Hope this info helps and thanks again for your email.
nboldock 19th Apr 2014		Cassette Album The London Pops Orchestra - The Music Of James Last	Party Mix One: Exodus; La Bamba; You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me; Old Fashioned Way; Solitaire; El Condor Pasa; Barbara Ann, Funny Funny; The Pushbike Song; It Never Rains In Southern California. Party Mix Two: Help Yourself; Top Of The World; Paper Roses; Walk Right Back; Your Mama Don't Dance; Yellow River; Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da; Satisfaction; I've Got You Under My Skin; My Sweet Lord.
nboldock 17th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Various Artists - Five Alive (1993)	I don't think it's much of an issue either way but it's fine as it is I think. I would probably have gone for album also, even though it's a bit "betwixt and between". As long as we have it on in one way or another that's the main thing. Keep 'em coming!
nboldock 17th Apr 2014		Cassette Album Various Artists - Chef Aid: The South Park Album (1998)	In case anyone really doesn't know, "Chef" is of course voiced by Isaac Hayes.
