Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana

Is it possible to get CD album numbers BEFORE receiving the mailings from
them?  I would assume they know that they are offering a particular CD well
before we see the final, printed catalog... I dont know what the 'turnover'
time is between them getting the OK from the record company to distribute a
particular CD, then taking the time to create, print, and edit the catalog
they send out, or for that matter the advertisments they make (which most
likely has an even longer turnover time) is, but I bet its several weeks
at least...  If there were some way to access the numbers and order them
beforehand, Columbia House's service would be even greater, as individuals
wouldnt have to wait so many months after an album hits the music stores
to get it from Columbia house.

Any ideas?

 I agree. "The Wall" is a boring tome that marked the End of Pink Floyd
 (IMO). I do like Comfortably Numb though. And the movie was cool.

I agree. "Animals" was fantastic.

I bought this Canadian CD import yesterday, but I had to return it since my
CD player, a Sony D555, had problems tracking a couple of songs.  The store
clerk tells me that this happens from time to time with some players that are
sensitive to anomalies that are not screened out by a manufacturer's quality
control system.  Sure enough, their players had no problems tracking the CD.
I'd like to know if this CD was ever released by Capitol Records as a US
domestic release.  If so, what is the catalog number?  The store won't 
reorder this import for me since it's likely that the same problem will occur
[i.e., it gets stuck at time index 1:04 on track #10].  Thanks in advance...

  In my latest catalog from Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Ultradiscs, I noticed
that the ad for Pink Floyd's The Wall had "sold out" across this.  I've still
been able find this CD set quite a bit despite what the catalog says.

  Has MFSL stopped pressing it?  I heard before that they limit their runs
to a fixed amount, but I never believed it since their Dark Side of the Moon is
still around in many places.

  I can understand that The Wall may be a faster seller than DSotM due to
the Harvest and so many other pressings.  Is The Wall 24K gold a collector's
item already?  I believe I've seen it listed in Goldmine for an auction bid,
but that may be the original MFSL LPs; I'll have to check the ad closer.

	One Way Records is also responsible for the poor-quality release of
Gentle Giant's "Free Hand" on CD.  The recording really lacks treble.  I
think One Way blamed the problem on ignorance -- not knowing that their
tapes were of bad quality.

I don't know the status of the list but my experience with BMG is that such
a list is not very useful. If a CD hasn't been listed in a fairly recent
catalog then there is a good chance they no longer have it in stock.

I was one of the people who helped create the list in question and I used
an interim copy to order some older discs but most of them turned out to be
"no longer available".

Conclusions:

    1) Use the phone to see if a particular disc is still available.
       
    2) Use the phone to reject the selection of the month.

    3) Use the phone to get catalog numbers or see if they carry a particular
       selection.

Yes, it's true that DCC Compact Classics (which has recently started
up a Gold Discs series like Mobile Fidelity's) is looking for the
master tapes of _Aqualung_ for their gold series.  The problem is that
I don't think the master tapes are available (they certainly weren't
used for the normal releases (UK and US) of _Aqualung_ and I've heard
that the reason that MFSL hasn't released _Aqualung_ is that the
master tapes are no longer available and the available tapes are too
hissy for them.

So I don't know what to tell you.  I'd love it if they could find the
master tapes and put out _Aqualung_ but I don't think it will happen
from what I've heard.

I asked Peter Mengede, Helmet's rhythm guitarist, about the "Unlive" bootleg
when they were here a coupla three weeks ago, if that's the one you're
asking about. Peter told me that the guy who had been pressing them was
found, his plates and tapes were confiscated, and he's not doing it any
more. I take that to mean it's out of print. Good luck finding a copy of it.

BTW, he pretty much told me the band was not too happy about it, mainly
because the guy making the bootleg made so many damn copies off of it, and
made a bit of money off of it, without even letting Helmet know he was doing
it. I've met plenty of bands who have no qualms whatsoever with bootlegging,
as long as you send them copies of the tape and/or let them know you're
doing it. Seems fair to me.

I'm posting this because every time in the past I've emailed Craig it

The triple LP Jubilee release info was from Rock Record. I could even be        misunderstanding it as a triple lp - here's the entry  
 
DOLDINGER JUBILEE (TRIPLE)  1973  ATLANTIC  60073      
 
Wolfgang Scmid and Klaus Doldinger are the only ones listed as being on         this, but the info looks incomplete for a number of the lps listed.    
 
>Also, any solo work info, other that for DAS_BOOT and

Rock Record also lists an early solo lp:
 
KLAUS DOLDINGER - BLUES HAPPENING   19??  WORLD PACIFIC  20167 
 
with Ingfried Hoffman on piano, Helmut Kendelburger on bass, and 
Cees See on drums.

Does anyone out there know the label and number for these CD's?
I'd really like to get them, but that means getting a store to
import them which means that I have to know a few more details than
that they're supposed to have been released...

H'm... I remember reading about a month ago that the Tangerine Dream soundtrack
was still in print, but only on cassette... I verified this by picking up a
cassette copy of the beast at a local chain store (HMV) for a criminally high
price, because it was a US import. SO, as far as I can tell, the US cassette
is still being made, the catalogue number is MCAC-6165.

Of course, not 20 minutes after I bought the tape, I came upon a small
used record shop that I had never seen before and bought a used, although
in very good shape copy of the sou hey...
has a promo stamp on the back, but what the hell.
