In 2007 and 2019, we reviewed very rare early CDs of the Elvis Presley compilation Merry Christmas (go here and here). This holiday season, we consider a much more common Elvis holiday album, simply titled Elvis’ Christmas Album. Originally released in 1957, Elvis’ Christmas Album offers 12 classics, including “White Christmas”, “Here Comes Santa Claus”, and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”. On four of the 12 songs, Elvis is joined by The Jordanaires.

order Soma WITHOUT SCRIPT RCA originally released Elvis’ Christmas Album on CD in the mid-’80s under U.S. catalog number PCD1-5486. As with many U.S. RCA CDs, the first copies of this Elvis album were pressed in Japan by Denon. The disc has the typical early U.S. RCA CD label design — a royal blue outer ring, royal blue text, a white RCA logo, and no paint coating.

The matrix code is stamped in the unique Denon dot-matrix font and is “PCD-15486 1A5 5X”.

Soma Cod Overnight Delivery Unlike Merry Christmas, Elvis’ Christmas Album has remained in print on CD for many years. Numerous U.S. pressings of Elvis’ Christmas Album followed the original Japanese pressing. However, the Japanese pressing of Elvis’ Christmas Album shown here is relatively easy to find, especially online.

order soma cash on delivery When we consider early Japanese CD pressings, we are normally concerned with discs released in the U.S., European, and Japanese markets. In many cases, unique Japanese pressings were produced for each of these primary CD markets. For smaller markets in the early days of the format, one of these primary issues would be imported for resale. In some rare instances, a Japanese pressing for one of the primary markets was issued with inserts specific to the smaller market. Here, we consider such a release in Canada.

http___www.bigleaguekickball.com_category_press_ buy no perscription soma At the dawn of the CD format, Canada often received U.S. releases as imports, complete with U.S. inserts. However, CBS Records, in the mid-’80s, printed inserts specific to the Canadian market. Prior to CD production starting up in Canada, CBS released Japanese CBS/Sony or U.S. DADC pressings with the Canadian inserts. Generally speaking, these “mixed” releases are quite rare.

Nearly 11 years ago, we reviewed a Japan-for-Canada issue of Santana’s 1981 album, Zebop! (go here). For this post, let’s look at a similar issue of the famous acoustic guitar trio, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco De Lucia, Friday Night in San Francisco.

http://waterloomilitaria.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1589400201.3142340183258056640625 1981’s Friday Night in San Francisco brings together three of the greatest guitarists of all time for a mostly live performance. Consisting of five tracks, Di Meola, McLaughlin, and De Lucia are in top form, feeding off of one another for a serious and also fun set. Sheer brilliance.

Cheap Tramadol Cod CBS/Sony made Friday Night in San Francisco one of its first CD releases in Japan in 1982 under catalog number 35DP 9. A rare Japan-for-U.S. issue followed soon after on the Columbia label, with the disc showing the Japanese catalog number in the matrix code. Even rarer than the Japan-for-U.S. release is the Japan-for-Canada issue. As was typical for CBS, this Canadian issue of Friday Night in San Francisco borrows the U.S. catalog number, CK 37152.

click The early Canadian issue features a Japanese CBS/Sony pressing, the same one issued in the U.S. The disc has “CSR COMPACT DISC” repeating in the plastic ring, and the matrix code is “35DP-9 91A2”. The project number “DIDP 50009”, derived from the Japanese catalog number, is printed beneath the U.S. catalog number at 3 o’clock. “MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN” is printed along the perimeter.

Back in March 2020, we provided a review of an early CD pressing of a rather obscure Bob Marley album (go here). With this post, we look at an album well known to even the casual Bob Marley fan. It is the aptly titled compilation Legend. The full title is actually Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and The Wailers. For simplicity, we will refer to it here simply as Legend.

Legend was released by Island Records in 1984. CDs made their early debuts in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. In this post, we focus on the original Japanese CD issue.

The Japanese release of Legend contains 14 tracks and was issued jointly by Island and Japanese label Polystar. The catalog number for this CD is P35D-20003, where “35” reflects the original retail price of ¥3,500 (Japanese yen), a common price for a single CD in the early days of the format in Japan. The disc and inserts also show European catalog number, CID 103.

Interestingly, Japanese CD releases often show the release date on the obi strip and/or inserts. The release date for Legend is shown on the back inserts as I·9·25, where the I is code for 1985 (more information). This code means that this Legend CD was released on September 25, 1985.

Collectors value Japanese CDs for a number of reasons, one of which is the obi strip, generally unique to Japanese releases. Many older CDs are sadly found without the obi strip since, as loose paper, it is often lost or thrown away. In the early days of the format, however, some CDs were issued with the obi strip adhered to the jewel case. So the owner would have to physically peel the obi strip off to remove it. As such, these CDs are often found with their obi strips intact. Legend is one such early CD with the adhered obi strip.

The Japanese issue of Legend was pressed by CBS/Sony. It has “CSR” (acronym for CBS/Sony Records) embossed on the clear plastic ring. The matrix code is “P35D-20003 21 +++++”.

Shown below are the cover and back insert for Legend with the obi strip, as well as the Japanese pressing.

The back insert for the original Japanese issue of Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and The Wailers (Island/Polystar, catalog number P35D-20003). The back insert is shown inside the original jewel case. The retail price and catalog number are printed in the lower left corner of the insert. Note also the release date code, I·9·25, representing September 25, 1985, in the lower left corner. The yellow strip at the right is the back of the obi strip adhered to the jewel case.

One of the most heavily anticipated catalogs to be released on compact disc in the mid-1980s was that of The Rolling Stones. Of course, it was. As was often the case with headliners, the Stones’ pre-1971 catalog was under the control of different labels, depending on the sales territory. In the U.S., ABCKO owned the early Stones’ catalog, while in Europe and Japan, London held the rights to these classics. If we focus on the U.S. and Europe, we saw the release of two distinct collections on CD — ABKCO in the U.S. and London in Europe. This means different catalog numbers, artwork, and also sound.

Over the years, collectors have sought out the European London CDs because these discs possess better mastering (in layman’s terms, sound quality) than their ABKCO counterparts. Although not released in the U.S., the London discs were fortunately pressed in relatively large quantities for the period and are therefore easy enough to track down online, and even in CD shops in the States (if you can find one).

Here, we consider the original European issue of the Stones’ 1965 classic, Out of Our Heads. The album features 12 tracks, including the all-time favorite “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” as well as the popular “Play With Fire”. London released Out of Our Heads on CD under catalog number 820 049-2. The disc’s label design is typical for early London issues — royal blue and red outer rings, a royal blue and red London logo at 12 o’clock, and royal blue text. The CD format logo stands out at 9 o’clock, while “Made in W-Germany by PolyGram” is printed at 3 o’clock.

Interestingly, the back insert states “Analogue to Digital mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound”. This explains the excellent sound of these early London Stones CDs, as Mobile Fidelity established itself in the 1980s as a reliable source of quality audiophile mastering (first on vinyl and cassette, and later on CD).

The back insert, like the disc, references manufacturing by PolyGram in West Germany. The cover boldly states “DIGITALLY RE-MASTERED” in a red banner in the upper left corner.

While this original issue of Our of Our Heads, like the other London Stones discs in the series, is not particularly rare, it is a must-have as a collectible and by virtue of the mastering, as a quality presentation of this classic.

Shown below is the cover, back insert, and original West German pressing of Out of Our Heads on London.

What can I tell you about Paul McCartney and Band on the Run that you don’t already know?  Let’s get to the CD.

Band on the Run first appeared on CD in the U.S. on the Columbia label, under the CBS Records umbrella. This, like all McCartney Columbia CDs, is rather rare (though available as Japanese and U.S. pressings). At about the same time, Band on the Run was released in Europe on Capitol Records. Paul McCartney’s catalog in the U.S. quickly moved to Capitol, and the same Capitol issue of Band on the Run then was available in both the U.S. and Europe by the mid-’80s.

Capitol originally issued Band on the Run on CD under catalog number CDP 7 46055 2. The earliest pressings, from Japan, are highly desirable by virtue of a stand-out black paint coating. As posted here over the years, Capitol is known for its early CDs bearing attractive paint coatings. The Japanese pressing of Band on the Run hit store shelves in the U.S. and can be located today without too much difficulty online. In the late ’80s, production switched to Capitol’s Jacksonville, Illinois plant. These “JAX” pressings (notation found in the mirror band) are very common. There is, however, a rare “in-between” pressing that was released in the U.S.

Shape Optimedia was one of many pressing plants that opened in the U.S. in the late ’80s as demand for the silver discs boomed. Though Shape Optimedia did not have a long run (operating in the state of Maine), they turned out distinctive early pressings by virtue of their unique clear plastic ring. Shape Optimedia produced a limited run of Band on the Run. Let’s have a look.

Gone is the black paint coating. Capitol abandoned paint coatings on most U.S. pressings in the late ’80s, presumably as a cost savings. The Shape Optimedia disc has black text over aluminum. The text “SHAPE OPTIMEDIA, INC.” and “MADE IN USA” is stamped on the clear plastic ring. The matrix information is “SHAPE OPTIMEDIA 10059 SA0584”. The accompanying inserts were printed in the U.S.

Shown below is the cover and back insert for the Capitol issue of Band on the Run, along with the rare Shape Optimedia pressing.

1959 saw the release of one of the most iconic jazz albums of all time, Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue. In the same year, five of the jazz legends that performed on Kind of Blue recorded a session in Chicago that is oft-overlooked. It shouldn’t be. The line-up of Julian (Cannonball) Adderley on alto saxophone, John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums, came together to record six tracks for an album originally released in 1959 as Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago. In 1964, the session was reissued as Cannonball & Coltrane. As the second title suggests, the album highlights two saxophone greats dueling and complementing each other.

This recording was released on CD as Cannonball & Coltrane by EmArcy, part of PolyGram Records, in 1988 under catalog number 834 588-2. The earliest copies were pressed in West Germany by the PDO plant. As such, there is no clear plastic ring at the center of the disc. The inserts were printed in West Germany.

This is not a particularly rare CD, but it is a must for the jazz aficionado and CD collector. The original issue of a jazz classic, even if it is oft-overlooked.

One cannot have a meaningful discussion of ’80s pop music without devoting significant time to British chart-topper Culture Club. Fronted by the ever-charismatic Boy George, the group debuted with 1982’s Kissing to be Clever and its hits “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya” and “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me”. That was just the start. In 1983, Culture Club released their sophomore effort, the smash Colour By Numbers. Included here are “Karma Chameleon” (you know you’re humming it right now), “It’s a Miracle”, and “Miss Me Blind”. Hugely popular album with endless radio airplay and videos on MTV. Huge. So, what about Colour By Numbers on CD? Let’s look at one early aesthetic issue.

In Europe and Japan, Virgin Records owned the rights to Culture Club’s catalog in the ’80s. Virgin first issued Colour By Numbers on CD in its homeland U.K. and the rest of Europe in 1983 under catalog number CDV 2285. Typical of an early European issue, the disc was pressed in West Germany by Polygram. Therefore, the disc has no clear plastic ring at the center (i.e., aluminum up to the center hole). Also in keeping with many early West German pressings, the disc has an attractive paint coating — powder blue.

The Colour by Numbers disc label is particularly eye-catching with fonts and characters reproduced from the album artwork. The disc does not state where it was pressed, but it clearly is an early West German pressing. The matrix code is “CDV 2285 2893 288 01”. The back insert, with no barcode, states “Printed in West Germany”.

This early Culture Club release is not terribly rare, as it was likely pressed in substantial quantities for the time given the band’s enormous popularity. Look for it online, as it is a worthy addition to any music and music collector’s shelf. For the record (CD?), a similar West German pressing was issued on Virgin for Kissing to be Clever under catalog number CDV 2232.

Shown below is the cover and back insert for the original Virgin issue of Colour by Numbers, along with the West German pressing.

Last month, we profiled an early CD of the German prog rock group Grobschnitt. In this latest entry, we stay in Europe and move forward about a decade. Swedish pop/rock duo Roxette delivered hit after hit in the ’80s into the ’90s. Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle formed Roxette in 1984 and hit the airwaves with their 1986 debut album Pearls and Passion. A solid first effort, Roxette hit their stride with their follow-up album, 1988’s Look Sharp!

Look Sharp! offers 13 tracks and includes the huge hits as bookends, “The Look” (Track 1) and “Listen to Your Heart” (Track 13). The album was released on CD in the U.S. by EMI (within Capitol Records umbrella) in 1988 under catalog number CDP 7 91098 2. To further promote the Look Sharp! and further Roxette, EMI issued a promotional CD single of “The Look” in 1989.

The single is readily identified as a promo disc by virtue of the catalog number, DPRO 04255. The disc bears just the one track and was packaged in a standard jewel case. The cover shows Fredriksson and Gessle along with lyrics from “The Look”. As a promo disc, there is no barcode on the back insert. This insert has “PROMOTIONAL COPY ONLY” and “NOT FOR SALE” printed in the top right corner.

The back insert references the album with the text, “From the LP “LOOKSHARP!” (E1-91098)”. Yes, the album title is printed as one word. Even with the growing popularity of CDs by 1989, this text on a promo CD still references the vinyl record.

The single of “The Look” was pressed by the U.S. PDO plant. As a PDO pressing, it bears resemblance to early West German pressings with an aluminum hub. The matrix code is “DPRO 04255 01!”, and the text “MADE IN USA BY PDO” is also stamped near the center hole. The disc bears the DPRO catalog number but does not have the promotional text found on the back insert.

Shown below is the cover and back insert for “The Look” promo single, along with the CD.
