        I can see that the separate discography link might be useful to datafeed customers even if it goes to a page on the official site
      • 2006-05-20 14008, 2006

        inhouseuk: i'll jsut make my own discograpy and link to it so people will stop pouting ;)
      • 2006-05-20 14036, 2006

        yes

        or a redirect to their label or cdbaby or something, where you may not find it easily without a link

        unless it's itunes.. apparently
      • 2006-05-20 14024, 2006

      • mudcrow
        itunes is a pain, I dislike anything that forces you to install software to view something, or any link that insists you sign in to view something
      • 2006-05-20 14036, 2006

      • BrianG
        understandable
      • 2006-05-20 14010, 2006

      • mudcrow
        I use itunes and still half the itunes links just show a page saying I must have itunes to view

        i used itunes music store for the first time the other day. i have to admit that it has great features and a sweet front end.. being able to preview songs and leave reviews and such, but everything under the hood just skevees me out (DRM and ACC or M4a and such)

        hmm... am I the only person that thinks the UK eurovision entry sounds like a rip-off of Where Is the Love? by Black Eyed Peas

        alternate title
      • 2006-05-20 14051, 2006

      • catmo
        that's what I thought
      • 2006-05-20 14055, 2006

      • catmo
        thanks
      • 2006-05-20 14002, 2006

        the site agrees with me. hah!
      • 2006-05-20 14012, 2006

      • mudcrow
        alternate and alternative are much the same thing
      • 2006-05-20 14047, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        it seems the 14 track version is out of print
      • 2006-05-20 14028, 2006

      • nikki_
        the 14 track version is the american version...
      • 2006-05-20 14031, 2006

      • catmo
        remember my Uriah heep editing?
      • 2006-05-20 14047, 2006

      • catmo
        now i'm going to standardise it and add asin links :D

        hmm how annoying, http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000071W… does not have the same tracklist as http://musicbrainz.org/album/0840cc91-bcf3-49cb-a… do you think its the same still? cover maches

      • 2006-05-20 14033, 2006

      • mudcrow
        I'd say its an error on amazon.uk's part as the same ASIN at amazon.us shows 16 tracks

      • 2006-05-20 14008, 2006

        use the UK ASIN and make a note that it shows the incorrect track listing

      • 2006-05-20 14044, 2006

      • catmo
        its an option
      • 2006-05-20 14052, 2006

      • 2006-05-20 14053, 2006

        and ca too
      • 2006-05-20 14059, 2006

      • 2006-05-20 14055, 2006

      • lauri
        searching .co.uk directly shows it there, as not an import
      • 2006-05-20 14015, 2006

      • lauri
        which is kinda bizarre, given the artist (why would he have this one 20 year old album remastered and re-released in the uk)
      • 2006-05-20 14050, 2006
