The Musical Heritage Society features an interesting assortment of titles,
but in the past, it was sometimes difficult to determine who was performing
the music, when it was recorded etc.  For my money I want the leaders in the
performing field: Pinnock, Tilney, Baird, Hillier, Gardiner, Christie; not
the local chorus and orchestra of a charming Bavarian town.  Musical Heritage
features both, it's just hard to find out which one you're paying for!

Hi!

I would like to introduce myself:

I am a CD freak from Germany and I started reading this newsgroup last week.

I am looking for contacts to other CD freaks in the wold. Especially
USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, UK & Sweden.

I would also like to know what kind of CD catalogues are available in those
countries.
I've got the following ones:
Germany: jpc CD Catalog - including Tracklistings of CD's available in Germany
UK: Music Master CD Catalogue - same for UK, including biographies
UK: Music Master Tracks Catalogue - containing 500000 titles in alphabetical order
USA: CD International - US CD's
Japan: CD Catalogue, containing Tracklistings for all Japanese CD's
 (This one is written in KATAKANA, which I can read)
CD International
Digital CD Studio Catalogue (the German 'CD International') containing promos
and some other small ones.

Please let me know if there are any other interesting catalogues available.

I'm gonna prepare a (very big) Want List which I will, place here in a few days.

                                                 Greetings from Germany,

Repertoire Records in Germany rereleased some Stiff stuff (nice rhyme) on CD.
They all contain 'Bonus tracks and extended booklet'.
If anybody is interested I could post artists/titles/order numbers.

If you wanted to either listen to your dbx-vinyl or tape it, you
have to not reencode it on record and decode it on playback to
avoid going insane from listening to raw dbx-encoded sound :-)
That's what the switch does for you.

I have a Teac with dbx, and while it gives me the most extended
frequency response (my Dolby mistracks) and the best dynamic range,
I can hear it breathe a little too easily to like it.  I can't use
dbx in my car with my current deck, which doesn't help, either.  I
prefer to use Dolby C for my taping; I really don't hear Dolby
messing with my signal, and the noise is pretty effectively out
of the picture.  Also, playing a Dolby C tape back with Dolby B
is fairly close to "right", and Dolby B is everywhere.  I've not
heard Dolby S, but I expect it could be more listenable than dbx.

While I can't comment on Columbia House, I can give a positive story about BMG:

I had a shipment of 3 free CD's stolen out of the mail about 6 months ago.  
After waiting 2 months and having changed addresses, I sent them a letter
explaining that I hadn't received my shipment and included a xerox copy of
the bill they sent (seperatly) for the shipping charges.  About 2 weeks later,
I got my discs.

I was very surprised, because they had no way of knowing that I was telling
the truth...

	That's right,...the most popular version of the song *is* a studio
recording, with audience noises mixed onto the original recording to give a
pseudo-live effect. One indication is the uniform manner in which the crowd noises
fade in & out.

I think the battle over copy protection has already been fought (and won/
lost).  I think I read somewhere that DCC and MD will have similar copy 
protection to DAT.  The fact that DCC and MD will slightly to somewhat lower 
quality than CD probably doesn't have anything to do with DAT being "too 
perfect."  Rather, the developers wanted to design formats that were 
convenient to use and stored a reasonable amount of music data in a small 
package.  The only way to do this with current [useable] technology, it seems, 
was to use data compression.

Just a question on a problem I have with my Sony Discman Model D-9:
On certain cds, the player will continuously skip on the first track; but
here's the weird thing, if the player is setting horizontal it skips, but
if held vertically, the player doesn't skip.  If anyone has an idea of what
the problem is and maybe a guestimate on how much it would cost to fix it,
please email me.  Thanx.

  This sounds rather amazing.  All the info I've heard so far tells me

  Only, are you sure the CD just didn't happen to be "Legend" by Clannad?

Newer CDs by Kodo include

- Irodori (Sony - 1991) [winner of the `Gold Disk Award' for traditional
	Japanese Music, studio recording],
- Mono-Prism (Sony - 1992) [contemporary classical music composed by Maki
	Ishii, recorded live with the New Japan Philharmonic], and
- Gathering (Sony - 1992) [containing some jazzy pieces, and featuring
	soloists Yosuke Yamashita (jazz pianist), Terumasa Hino (jazz
	trumpeter), and Lecei Wright (jazz vocalist), recorded live]

Older CDs by Kodo (in addition to Ubu Suna and Blessing of the Earth
mentioned above) include:

- Kodo: Heartbeat Drummers of Japan (Sheffield Lab - 1985) [Studio recording]

- Bolero: Kodo vs. Yosuke Yamashita (Denon - 1989) [Live recording, plenty
	of jazzy pieces, one contemporary classical piece]

The group Kodo was a splinter group from the highly proficient Ondekoza
group, which itself has many recordings.  In addition, O-daiko (big drum)
soloists such as Hayashi Eitetsu, who belonged to Ondekoza and worked
extensively with Kodo, have recorded their own albums.  Finally, there
are numerous albums with a similar feel of traditional Japanese drum music.

However, it is much, much more impressive to see Kodo live, since their
performance features startling and impressive dramatic touches.  They
spend four months on a world tour (outside of Japan) every year, and four
months performing live in Japan, and four months training on Sado island.
