A MÁQUINA DE FAZER SONHOS: GENTLE GIANT - Live Playing The Fool [1977, remastered] [LOSSLESS] - United Kingdom / Reino Unido

Hecho en México (Made in México)

Lately, I've been noticing that some new CDs sold in shops in the US are being made in México.  First, it was Sony, then Real World (via Caroline) and now Capitol/EMI.  Universal and Warner could be next.  Some might say its NAFTA.  Others will say its the decline of CD sales in recent years.  I say its a little of both.  It will say on the back on the seal if its from south of the border.  This isn't the same as getting an import originally intended for sale there.  It won't always say if its made there or in the States.  Plants in Olymphant, PA (WEA/Warner), Jacksonville, FL (EMI), and New Jersey (Sony) must have laid off people.  To think the CDs could be made in mainland China like many other dry goods these days.  That I wouldn't mind, though that country has widespread piracy as well as having taken in low-selling EU imports.
Like China, labour is cheaper in México than America.  This could be the driving force of this latest trend.  DVDs are also falling victim to this outsourcing scheme.  For those, it should say on the shrink wrap.  Blu-Rays, I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised.  They use NTSC in México, so the DVDs should work in the US and Canada, as well as Japan for that matter.
So the next time you buy a brand new CD or DVD in the United States, it could be made in México.

Madonna - Movie Madge: The Soundtrack Hits

The Material Girl on tour.

Heres a compilation I've always wanted Madonna to make. Shes better at making songs for films than starring in them! I made an iMix once but its expired now. Even though Rhino could put this out, Madge is still a power player in showbiz, so she and her management would have to approve first. Also, she doesn't really like to be called Madge, so it'd have another title.  Heres the list:

Holiday (The Wedding Singer)
Into the Groove (Desparately Seeking Susan)
Crazy for You (Vision Quest)
The Gambler (Vision Quest)
Live to Tell (At Close Range)
Whos That Girl? (Whos That Girl?)
Causing a Commotion (Whos That Girl?)
Vogue (Dick Tracy/The Devil Wears Prada)
Hanky Panky (Dick Tracy)
Like a Virgin (live) (Truth or Dare)
This Used to Be My Playground (A League of Their Own)
I Remember (With Honours)
You Must Love Me (Evita)
Don't Cry for Me Argentina (Evita)
Another Suitcase in Another Hall (Evita)
Beautiful Stranger (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me)
American Pie (The Next Best Thing)
Time Stood Still (The Next Best Thing)
Die Another Day (Die Another Day)

Till then, you can just get each track seperately.
