ppint. 30th May 2015		Cassette Album Jimmy Shand - Jimmy Shand (1967)	if the separation-by-solidus between the different tunes in a set is kept (side 1, track 6; side 2, track 6, and perhaps better to so separate the components of the set on side 2, track 7 - though the tunes are not named, only their categories - for dance purposes), then surely their composers (or lack of knowledge regarding same) should be separated in like manner? so composer credits should read: side 1, track 6: daly / traditional, arranged jimmy shand side 2, track 6: kennedy, carr / kennedy / samuels, whitcup, powell and the title of side 2, track 7 probably should read: march / strathspeys / reels - as submitted. (all sfaik being "traditional, arranged jimmy shand", separated identical composer credits would seem over-kill - especially as how many of each is not stated on cassette or card insert.)
ppint. 28th May 2015		Cassette Album Choir Of Westminster Cathedral - Allegri: Miserere. Palestrina • Victoria • Monteverdi • Lotti • Gabrielli • Cavalli (1983)	"exsultate deo" is usually spelled "exultate deo", but i don't know whether this was the italian spelling, the late latin spelling, the mediaeval latin spelling, the vatican's spelling - or a spello. _anyway_, "sic".
ppint. 28th May 2015		Cassette Album Peggy Ashcroft, Paul Scofield, Members Of The London Sinfonietta, Sir William Walton, Heather Harper, Paul Hamburger - Walton: Façade (1986)	a very peculiar piece, very arresting and very exciting performed live on stage - enthralling, even. if you ever have a chance to see it performed, jump at it - there's nothing i know quite like it - or anywhere close, really. very much a period piece. (and it mayn't be by quilter, or anything like his music, but it'd play equally well to the same audiences, presented as an afternoon's or evening's entertainment in a great country house's living-room for family, friends & set similarly to that great quilter half-concert's conceit, valerie.)
ppint. 28th May 2015		Cassette Album Peggy Ashcroft, Paul Scofield, Members Of The London Sinfonietta, Sir William Walton, Heather Harper, Paul Hamburger - Walton: Façade (1986)	01 = side 1; 02 & 03 = side 2, tracks 1 & 2 respectiwiggly. the listing of the pieces in side 2, track 1 is truncated. the full listing was originally submitted. Side 1 ends with ... Something lies beyond the scene; valse.
ppint. 25th May 2015		Cassette Album Côr Meibion Aberafan, Port Talbot - With A Voice Of Singing	thejudge: my welsh geography is pretty rudimentary: i will double-check. well spotted: the combination of ignorance of aberafan's existence with my familiarity with that of aberfan's allowed me to misread the name - multiple times. it should indeed be "aberafan" throughout.
ppint. 23rd May 2015		Cassette Album Côr Meibion Aberafan, Port Talbot - With A Voice Of Singing	flagged as uk, though its possible the choir might prefer the welsh dragon rouge, upon a ground argent and vert by fesse, argent in chief...
ppint. 23rd May 2015		Cassette Album Côr Meibion Aberafan, Port Talbot - With A Voice Of Singing	the cassette itself bears neither the album title, the choir name (which includes the ", aberafan, port talbot"), nor the black mountain records cat#, though it does at least carry their name and enough of the address to reach them (and also the "double D dolby" logo).
ppint. 8th May 2015		Cassette Album Muddy Waters - Mississippi	"settin" in track 8's title is as listed, thrice. bought from the lancaster "our price" record shop during an earlier totally artificial tory-engineered recession, in which (full-priced) record & tape sales collapsed, and the our price, hmv and what was left of the virgin/virgin-ames chains imported a lot of instant remainder cassettes from elsewhere in the then eec, mostly (iirc) - but not only - from italy. some of these looked pretty dubious... a "double D" (dolby, not double diamond ;-) ) symbol that was originally going to be on the paper insert's spine was incompletely blacked-out before printing. cassette labels also bear the SACD/sacem/sgol/SDRM-in-a-cartouche, all in a line-drawn box logo above the cleo cat##.
ppint. 29th Apr 2015		Cassette Album Tanita Tikaram - The Sweet Keeper (1990)	the judge: i'm not right, and this is the right place, at the moment - or i am right, & it isn't? :-)
ppint. 29th Apr 2015		Cassette Album Tanita Tikaram - The Sweet Keeper (1990)	would i be right to guess this is not the place on "tapecatcom" to enter a tanita tikaram vhs cassette - it is of performances, and impressionistic video to go with (some) of the tracks, and (a little) of setting up & knocking down for gigs - ? (its track listing overlaps with the sweet keeper, and at least some of her earlier albums.)
