Japan "blackface" CDs?
Posted by: BigH47 on 21 November 2009
One for MilesS I guess.
Are these special recordings worth collecting or just a marketing thing by the re-sellers? (E-Bay)
Miles is it possible to re-cap your advice re: triangle and Japanese CD issues?

Funny you should ask, there just was a thread on the other forum providing an almost full listing of the Japanese Blackface / Redface CDs with commentary on the SQ.
Here is a partial listing:
CDP7460012 - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - Black - Harvest
CDP7460162 - Queen - The Works - Light Red - EMI
CDP7460312 - David Gilmour - About Face - Black - Harvest
CDP7460322 - Deep Purple - Deepest Purple - Harvest
CDP7460332 - Queen - Greatest Hits - Red - EMI
CDP7460342 - Pink Floyd - Meddle - Black - Harvest
CDP7460352 - Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here - Black
CDP7460362 - Pink Floyd - The Wall (Disc 1) - Black - Harvest
CDP7460372 - Pink Floyd - The Wall (Disc 2) - Black - Harvest
CDP7460382 - Joe Cocker - Civilized Man - Black - Capitol
CDP7460412 - Tina Turner - Private Dancer - Purple
CDP7460432 - Paul McCartney - Give My Regards to Broadstreet - Blue - Parlophone
CDP7460462 - Peter Wolf - Lights Out - Blue - EMI America
CDP7460472 - David Bowie - Tonight - Blue
CDP7460542 - Sheena Easton - A Private Heaven - Blue
CDP7460552 - Paul McCartney - Band On the Run - Black - Parlophone
CDP7460562 - Paul McCartney - Wings Greatest - Black - Parlophone
CDP7460572 - Paul McCartney - Tug of War - Black
CDP7460592 - Anne Murray - Heart Over Mind - Red
CDP7462672 - Queen - A Kind of Magic - Black - EMI?
CDP7462692 - Paul McCartney - Press to Play - Pale Blue
The Pink Floyd titles are in high demand and sound outstanding. The most valuable is the 'Dark Side Of The Moon' Blackface, which comes close to the Holy Grail - the Japanese Black Triangle of DSOTM. I would recommend as well the Blackface of 'The Wall'.
