| | I've got a Neil Diamond CD on Axis as well. It's a compilation album titled "Play Me"( issued as CDAX-701542), and quite honestly I think it's a bit odd, EMI issuing MCA product when EMI Australia NEVER had the rights to MCA, and EMI Britain only held the rights for a few years through the 1970s. I'll send you the contents list in a PM as soon as I can, RC. |

| | When Axis changed its logo from the pivoted globe to the square "Axis" design with black bars above and below the name, the label body was a sort-of pale yellow, same shade of yellow as their EMI label of the early 1980s, or near enough to it. |

| | Okay RC, then it's your LP from the time before CDs, and your cassette from the time CDs were being introduced. That clears things up, I think. |

| | @RC your cassette comes from the time before CDs when the Axis label was just changing over from the old original version with the motto: The World Of Sound Revolves Around The Axis" to the newer pale yellow label with the TM at the bottom(6 o'clock position) of the label, and the numbering was a simple 4-digit affair, whereas your Volume 2 came out as CDs were coming in and the numbering system was changing to suit the newer medium. As for the cover with TM on top-right, I had a guess that's where it might've been, either there or at Top-left. |

| | @RC, Where on the cover was the Axis TM positioned? Top Left, Top Right, or, blowing my theory clean out of the water, on one of the bottom corners? While I think of it, what were the catalogue numbers for each volume? |
