Depressed Friend Letters

Type: Pop, Rock
Year: 1985
Publisher: Virgin (UK)
Catalog #: CDV2185
Matrix CDV 2185: Nimbus England

Reviewing a recent Internet auction I came across a rarity for me. Well, I managed to acquire the early release of the album Face Value which was issued by the native compression NIMBUS in the UK. According to my understanding this issue could arise the first few months of mills NIMBUS , and certainly there were more than I have already held subsequent pressing Nimbus . I'm not sure, but it seems to me that this might be the turn of the 1984/1985 edition .
album does not have a bar code. The entire booklet is in the same form as described above edition. Mastering the album also is the same, one would like to write a mirror. The main determinant of the thesis that this is the earliest edition NIMBUS is the signature mills located on the inner circle CDs: Nimbus England.
this signature have a very early release albums that were pressed in mills NIMBUS probably until 1985. Later NIMBUS applied to become Mastered NIMBUS, which moreover is used today.
admit that I had never stumbled on this issue, so I consider them to be relatively rare. This edition was intended for sale in the UK, so a better chance of winning album we looking for it in the UK.
can not assess the value of the album, because mine was bought from a dealer, who in general had no idea what sells. Just wanted to get rid of the "old records" and sold them at a price of 0.99 pound.
For fans of Collins, for collectors rarity. Circulation edition had to be small, since as early as the end of 1985 were available pumping Face Value with a Mastered by Nimbus . Album in good condition, has signs of use, but they are not serious damage.

Catalog #: CDV2252
Matrix: CDV 2252: Mastered by Nimbus

Hello, I Must Be Going! is the second solo album by Phil Collins. This is the home edition Virgin from the UK The album was available for sale in the UK is likely in 1985. This is not the first press. It is simply one of the early editions of the album as evidenced by subsequent designation: Mastered by NIMBUS . The album was stamped by the famous and the first time in UK winepress NIMBUS.
back cover includes a bar code. On the package bears 'sticker' Virgin Value . I am sure that the sale was even earlier edition of this album, probably released in a short time after opening the mill NIMBUS and also molded by NIMBUS .
CD sounds very good, mastering is quite different than that available with the release of Atlantic Records . Circulation album was probably large, because this issue is often met in their path. However, the seeker may be difficult to find the album in good condition.

Examples Of Appeals For Ucsd

Matrix 35DP-187 11A6 +++++

"Easy Lover"
In 1984, Phil Collins with Nathan East participated in the production of Philip Bailey album Chinese Wall . Collins was one of the producers, also played drums and gave his vocals. Collins in particular was responsible for the brass section. The culmination of the cooperation of artists became free " Easy Lover." single from the album appeared in two periods: in the U.S. in November 1984 and in the UK in March 1985. Needless to write like a big hit was a song. It should be noted that the song "Easy Lover " received the award MTV Video Music Award for the idea and execution, and was nominated for a Grammy in the category "Best Male Pop / Duo / Group".
single you probably never released in audio CD format. Originally released on vinyl zwieraƂ two versions: Single Edit and Album Version .
Album Philip Bailey Chinese Wall longer version contains (Album Version). Collins This piece also posted on two of their albums: Serious Hits ... Live! (1990) and ... Hits (1998). The latter includes the longer version of the recording. You should also write that the version posted on the album has been subjected to compression.

The issue
known to me are the two early release of this album. As the first album was released in Japan (known as "Japan for Japan," ) and had a catalog number 35DP -187. Shortly after the release of version appeared for sale on in the UK and Europe so. "Japan for Europe", identified by part number CDCBS 26161st The latter for some time is in my possession. It should also be noted that the version of the album intended to be sold in Japan is a very collectible album. The album is rare, even in Japan. The album occasionally appear on online auctions, and often reach high prices.
Owned by me was intended for release in Europe and the UK. Virgin album was made by extracting CBS / SONY Japan Inc. . located in Shizuoka . Currently, the mill is a division of Sony DADC . The album does not have a bar code, which of course confirms the early press album. Covers were printed in the Netherlands. This album is not hard to find. The problem can only be the price because the seller suggesting a pressing hard in Japan mistakenly think that the album was intended for sale in Japan. The best measure in the search for the album is number matrix: 35DP-187 (dotted discharged font: see photo).
You can also write to add it is a very good album (not including the song "Easy Lover ). The album has its own climate. Even after prolonged listening sessions is to be "willing" to return to the album. In the first of my counsels on my bookshelf, the album due to hit duet with Phil Collins, but after a long presence of Bailey can certainly recommend the whole album.
