If you think an album may be out of print, let me know.  While it
still may be possible to buy it at some stores, it will save some
frustrations when trying to special order it.

Japanese CDs usually have the production date printed within a box on
the back cover, with the year of the original production usually
replaced by a letter.  The letters correspond to the following years:
	N 1984	H 1986	R 1988	C 1990
	I 1985	O 1987	E 1989	D 1991

Although many of these CDs are out of print and commercial CD Catalogs
from Japan contain far more listings, I believe the strengths of this
list lie in the comments given by the various contributers.  (How else
would someone know which Orange Road CD or Macross CD to buy!)	So
please, if you own a CD listed here and would like to make a comment,
*any comment*, please do!

A list of mail order sources for these CDs appears at the end of the
document.  If you can add or comment on these as well, please do!

Wanted:  Information on "Manga" CD's!

DISCLAIMER:  Because I "collected" many of these listings and did not
write them, I cannot vouch for their complete accuracy.  Use this as a
guide only.  Thanks!

		Pony Canyon PCCG-00013 (1990.1.21), Y2800
		19 tracks / 46 subtracks, 52:19
		(Nettou-ongaku-hen has much of the early Ranma 1/2
		 Nettouhen BGM.  The only vocal is the first closing
		 theme from Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen.  The Nettouhen music
		 is a lot more shallow and cartoony than the original
		 series, except the music from the skating pair episodes
		 which were made by the original producers, but weren't
		 aired until Nettouhen.  Some of it is cute, but overall
		 flat by comparison with Ongaku Doujou.)

		11 tracks, 33:23
		(Songs sung by the characters in the Ranma 1/2
		 song contest OAV, but some are scripted a little
		 differently.  Most of the songs are interrupted
		 by one or more of the cast members fighting, so
		 don't expect dance music.  Fun for die-hard Ranma
		 fans.  There are a couple semi-serious songs
		 including a version of ribbon's "Little Date" by
		 "Ties" -- Ranma, Akane, and Shampoo.)

		7 tracks, 29:11

			Shampoo 	Sakuma Rei
			Nabiki		Takayama Minami
			Kasumi		Inoue Kikuko
		 The guide contributes a couple background cries in the
		 second track.  Fairly mellow, easy listening with a
		 Chinese bent, and the voices are a fair match with
		 CoCo's, but not very interesting.)

			   -----------------
			   Anime CD Glossary
			   -----------------

	BBGGMM-  Back Ground Music.  This refers to a video's soundtrack
and may not necessarily include any songs.  This concept is similar to
the way the two Batman soundtracks were released in America. (One by
Prince containing the songs and one by Danny Elfman containing the
BGM.)

	CCDDVV-  Compact Disc Video.  A CD that contains video tracks that can be
played on a laserdisc player, or played in an ordinary CD player for their
audio.

	DDrraammaa AAllbbuumm-  This is, quite simply, an audio recording of the
movie including dialogue and special effects.

	HHii--TTeecchh SSeerriieess-  Synthesizer versions of the soundtrack.

	IImmaaggee AAllbbuumm-  These are essentially musical editorials of what
the composer feels the music represents for certain aspects of the
film.  Aspects	that are subject to the image scores include
characters, places, situations, etc.

	SSyymmpphhoonniicc SSuuiittee-  This is symphonic compositions of the same
soundtrack of your favorite anime.  Usually, they are compositions of
the soundtrack performed by orchestras.  The compositions may be
longer and are frequently variations of scores from the soundtracks.

			    Anime CD Sources

Question:  OK, I see a lot of CDs I want, where do I get them?

Answer:

If your local anime store doesn't carry the CD you want, you can always
mail order it.  There are several mail order places that can special
order it for you if you can give them the title and label number.  Two
places I highly recommended are Sight & Sound and Laser Perceptions.
Both primarily carry Anime LDs but also have anime CDs.  While they may
not keep a large in stock inventory, they can special order just about
anything and do not charge your credit card until they get the items in
and ship them.  Sight & Sound also sells an Import Catalog ($8.95) which
contains lots of information about various Anime LDs and CDs.

Phone: 1-617-894-8633		Phone: 1-415-753-2016

Another excellent CD source is Nikaku Animart.  While I don't know if
they can special order CDs, they do keep the largest in stock selection
that I have ever seen.  Send a SASE for their current catalog.

Sound City 2000 has competitve prices.  They don't stock CDs, but takes
your money and buys the CD from Japan to be mailed to you directly.
One order took about 10 days to arrive from Japan with a total wait of
over a month, but compared to Laser Perceptions, that's nothing!  They
send the CDs ASAP; if you ordered 3 different CDs, they won't wait until
they get all 3 in.  Make sure you know what you want exists, because if
they can't get something, you don't get a refund, just credit.
