5 CD series

In the past few years a new kind of boxed set has been appearing in shops that contain 5 (sometimes just 3) CDs of the same artist (or theme in some cases) in a slipcase with "mini-LPs" but without liner notes or many details.  The price is decent for 5 CDs together.  Sometimes there are titles that have been rare for a long time, which was the case when I bought The Cars set which included Panorama (I'll have to find it by itself now).  All three majors have these.  Warners recent purchase of Parlophone from EMI is bringing out new

Combines solo Limahl and the band proper

Original Album Series sets from Kajagoogoo/Limahl (just got this one), Cockney Rebel (a bit of a challenge but I have that too now), and UFO to name a few.  They already released those with Yes (which I bought), Alanis Morissette (I bought all 5 in hers one at a time, 3 from her old stomping ground) and Fleetwood Mac (which I'm holding out for) even though they'll all have titles I bought separately with bonus tracks (those without can be sold which I did with one old Yes CD).  Universal also have had these but with whole cases for Elton John and Rush but a sleeves only one with Bob Marley is available and I got it last week.  Sonys Original Album Classics (US and EU) have included Sarah MacLachlan (outside Canada), Elvis Presley, REO Speedwagon, Santana and Bob Dylan (he has a couple out now).  Don't think the indies would do this.  EMI UK before they were sold would reissue two at a time in a regular slimline double jewel box with Blondie, Gerry Rafferty and Talk Talk (I have this) to name a few but also without much information.  I wish there was a Kate Bush set but don't count on it so I bought them separately instead even though she had a more elaborate one of her own in 1990 which is scarce now.
This could be a way to get people to buy CDs again with all the downloading but there's always gonna be something new for collectors to spend their money on.  Warners also have trilogies.

Life after EMI

Divvied up

Over the past year, the properties of EMI was doled out among four companies as one could not have it all under EU regulations.  Universal received the lions share getting Capitol, Harvest (brought back from dormancy), the EMI label and Virgin; while Warners would get Parlophone which includes Regal, IRS and Chrysalis.  The Beatles, who put Parlophone on the map, will now be with Capitol worldwide, as will solo Robbie Williams (hardly heard of in the States which is the case with his group Take That), who already moved to Universal prior to the merger.  Ironically many pre-2012 EMI refugees now find themselves under UMG distribution, such as The Rolling Stones, Queen, solo Paul McCartney and Mike Oldfield (who moved his catalogue to Mercury only to find it now managed by original label Virgin).  Parlophone artists such as Coldplay, Jethro Tull (on Chrysalis), and Conor Maynard (a newer one) were signed to Capitol in the US but I wonder if Warners' catalogue label Rhino will now be reissuing that material worldwide in future.  Chrysalis US artists such as Pat Benetar and Blondie will now be Capitol ones.  There is some catching up to do.  Some titles may be bought back by the artists and released by indie labels which is possibly the case with some of my prog heroes like Rick Wakeman and Tony Banks.  More as I get it.

Vegetarians and Vegans

Mr "Meat is Murder" himself, Morrissey.

Many of my favourite artists don't eat meat or in some cases even any dairy*.  Even St Francis de Assisi may not have been able to do this!

Alanis Morrissette*
Boy George (may be pescatarian)
The Beatles (even John Lennon was on a vegan type diet for most of the last decade of his life)
Kate Bush
Geezer Butler
Annie Haslam (Renaissance)
Roger Hodgson
JD Fortune (ex-INXS)
Morrissey* (I don't buy anything of his for myself but his devotion to animal rights is unparalleled)
Phil Collins
John Wetton
Steve Howe
Chris Squire
Lawrence Gowan
Jon Anderson (also pescatarian)
Alan White
Brian May
Paul and Linda McCartney (the second missus is also vegan but I'm not gonna put her here!)
Fiona Apple*
Frida
Limahl
Agnetha Fältskog*
Ozzy Osbourne

Elton John and Universal

The Rocket Man in action.

Sir Elton John is the company man at Universal Music having been signed to labels in North America and internationally now part of the conglomerate, more than anyone else.  Here's a list:

Philips*++ (also sold PolyGram to Universal in 1999)
Fontana*++ (onetime label for early band Bluesology which backed the late Long John Baldry)
DJM* (sold to PolyGram in 1986 after Dick James' passing by his estate)
Congress**++ (absorbed by Uni)
Uni** (retired in 1972 and replaced by MCA)
Paramount/ABC+ (sold to MCA in 1979; released Friends soundtrack)
MCA** (retired in 2003 outside Nashville and the Philippines in 2003; reissued Friends internationally due to the above)
Rocket* (distributed by EMI in 1976 and Phonogram/PolyGram 1977-93)
Geffen** (absorbed MCA in the US for rock/pop)
Polydor** (1969-76 titles from 1990-95; also released "Pinball Wizard" from Tommy film version)
Mercury* (never used alone for new titles in the US)
Hollywood++ (owned by Disney but distributed today by Universal except the former USSR and Japan; The Lion King hits)
Island** (distributed Rocket in the UK before 1976 and signed Elton in the US less than 20 years on; recently returned to Island in the US and possibly Canada on LP as most new US LPs are sold there now to save money on pressing)
EMI+* (Blue Moves later reissued by Phonogram outside North America as my copy is the French reissue LP; EMI outside half of Western Europe sold to Universal; distributed DJM in several Asian and South American countries)
A&M (Associated)+**
DreamWorks+
Universal** (merged with Republic and Motown)
Universal Music Special Markets/MCA Special Markets/PolyGram Special Markets (impulse/budget labels)**
Interscope**+ (also absorbed A&M US)
