Tokuma is a Japanese CD label. They're probably the owners or license holders of the Venus material. Speaking of which, what's the relationship between Venus/Tokuma and Sunny Side? I've noticed that several Eddie Higgins dates have also been released on Sunny Side, often with different CD titles. Are the Venus releases different masterings? ← Sorry, no idea.

My commiserations, Brad. Sorry, but I don't like Uruguay's style, and I hate their frequent foul play.

Australia beat Uruguay 1-0 after extra time and 4-2 on penalties, and go to Germany! Congratulations!

Do you mean the LP or the CD? As far as I know the LP was released in 1960, the CD not until 1987.

I really hope Australia will qualify this time, after what happened four years ago. I wonder what Guus Hiddink's tactics will be. He has achieved some wonderful things with PSV Eindhoven last season, and after a very shaky start this season looks OK too. Good luck!

Sorry to be a bore, but shouldn't that be Uruguay? ← Yep - as per the rest of my post. ← Oops, sorry, posted too soon. I apologize.

Thanks for posting your interview, Flurin; very informative!

I wonder what RVG is using for his remasters.

I agree, to my ears the sound on recent McMaster CDs isn't good.

But Owen's a Georgie now... ← Well, he's good, but there was only one Georgie. ← And you're right about Georgie, of course

You can order the sets from Dusty Groove.

I'm not a big fan of the England team, i.e. the kind of football they play (no offence intended!), but this was a great game against an excellent opponent.

I fully agree.

That's very weird, I've got #1,000...

I'd rather lose K2's if that means the entire OJC catalog remains in print. ← My thoughts exactly.

That's because Sweden's part of the EU, and they don't ship to the EU (see the small print on this page: "Regrettably at present time Hip-O Select cannot ship to the UK & the EU").

Less than an hour to go.

I bought each of the three sets when they came out. I'm shocked they would have the need to discount those. Timeless music, certainly mucho collectable in the future, and only 5,000 of each being made. Presentation is stunning. ← Apparently sales are disappointing.

Use this link to go directly to the catalog page. The latest printed catalog is available for download as a pdf file on this page - better than nothing. BTW - if you want to browse the catalog like you are used to do online, you can rip the whole site to your harddisc, Xaldon web spider or other software will create a mirror of the whole site. With a fast connection it doesn't take too long. ← this is what I get clicking the link....
