The following is a list of albums, EPs, and mixtapes released in 2023. These albums are (1) original, i.e. excluding reissues, remasters, and compilations of previously released recordings, and (2) notable, defined as having received significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject.
and Dont tell me to use discogs it will not help as most of my albums are old and most od what people have put on there for them is a gess based on the county the singer is in or based on the county it was distributed in or the country the Label is from
i have one where the county the label and the singer are from is the usa it was printed there as well but it was distributed in canada only for this album i have in my hand and i have albums that dont tell you where thay were distributed only where thay were printed and have the labels country wich may at times be different and some that only have the labels country
When there is a postal address for the label, I use that country as the release country. If there is no postal address, but I know where the label is based, I will use that (for instance I would list Italy as the release country for any Black Saint release).
Discogs is not ideal for these kinds of Releases as there are not enough collectors of them on there. Yet for some artists it can be an excellent resource. Just depends who has added the data. (Wikipedia is a similar one for being hit n miss depending on the interests of the contributors)
Even the handful of discs I have helped you with I could see an Australian artist starting with self released discs. Therefore Australian. He then goes off to Nashville and release stuff there making USA releases.
Trying to nail down dates can be comical. In the past 18 months I have learnt far too much about the small details of music production, CD presses, glass mastering, and all kinds of weird little bits of knowledge that surely only the truly mad would care about. But then I love a bit of research and daft details.
If there is worldwide shipping, the release country is wherever the artist resides and ships the releases from. You can only truly have worldwide releases for digital releases. Physical releases should never be [Worldwide].
They have actively sought out and bought up numerous other Christian record labels across the world. This store is also a record label. And they are certainly keen on bringing in other sources of music to expand the stock.
In these three examples I would say they are still USA releases, with Koorong importing them for sale. Though someone could equally argue that Steve will have wanted the release available in his home country.
you would only see it in Christian based stores and even then it is likely to be newer releases if it is a small store same with most Christian music if it was hillsong on the other hand or someone even more well know thay may then pop up in other stores as well
I try and picture what is going on. In this example, there is only one factory, producing one set of discs. One set of artwork is produced with the USA addresses. And that is then sold on to every one else. So it is USA.
If Steve had wanted to sell more copies into Aus then he would have got a contract with an Australia distributor to actively run around the country promoting his product and supplying other stores for sale.
In my (simplified) eyes: if Steve has an Aussie team putting in the effort to do the sales then that is an Aus release. If the Aus stores are contacting Steve for copies to sell then that is a USA release.
yer the only thing that is giving me hesitation about usa is that 2 of them dont say distributed in usa thay only have canada witch makes me ask why is it saying only canada if it is a usa release. would it not say distributed in usa if it was a usa release? or distributed in usa and canada if it was released in both? to me distributed means that is were the owner is actively selling that release
For example, these two discs could be at a time that Steve did his own USA distribution, but had a separate company in Canada doing distribution. He could then be cutting corners and only printing one set of artwork then the Canadian company is the only one to be credited. It would still be a USA release in that case.
the old ones have been sold on tape as well as cd not sure about vinle
here is one of the albums released on tape as well as cd at the same time -Green-Hide-Em-In-Your-Heart-Songs-With-Steve-Green/release/4289028
it looks like sparrow use to be a canadian company and most of the album images iv looked at on discogs have disrupted in canada on them tho some have made or manufactured in the usa on the including at least 2 of mine on the cd

When we talked a couple of years ago, you mentioned that you had already written six or seven songs for the next album. Did some of those make it onto Visitor?
Swift was the first female country artist ever to write or co-write every song on a debut country platinum album, earning her further accolades in an industry that had long favored older male artists. Swift was a commercial and critical success, receiving good reviews from the New York Times and Rolling Stone. It earned an Album of the Year nomination from the Academy of Country Music. You can listen to Taylor Swift on Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Deezer and Pandora.
Swift wrote her third album all by herself and released it when she was 20 years old. It marked her transition into more of a pop sound, though you can still hear the country influence. The album sold 1 million copies in the U.S. in its first week, ultimately going platinum six times.
Swift released Red at age 22. The album focuses on her personal life, exploring what happens when romance fades. It added some rock influence to her country pop style and made Swift the first female artist to achieve three straight albums atop the Billboard 200 for at least six weeks.
Somehow Swift also found time to release her 10th studio album, called Midnights because it focused on what keeps her up at night. It was a return to the autobiographical style of songwriting her fans adore, including ruminations on love, heartbreak and self-doubt. Of course, Midnights became her 11th straight Billboard 200 No. 1.
During her 2024 Grammys acceptance speech for Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights, the singer announced a new Taylor Swift album, titled The Tortured Poets Department, which was released on April 19, 2024 to a breathless reception from fans.
While I love getting more and more music from my favorite artists, having multiple versions of what is essentially the same album is frustrating and cluttered. Deluxe albums appear separately from original albums on streaming platforms, meaning the same songs exist in multiple places.
In an interview with Latin Groove News, Quintanilla said that the album, which is being produced by Warner Music, will contain 13 songs and that Selena's brother, A.B. Quintanilla, worked on the album.
"What amazes me and Suzette, my family, A.B., is that 26 years later and the public still remembers Selena. They haven't let go of her," Quintanilla said in the interview, referring to Selena's sister, Suzette. "They're waiting for a project like this to come out, and I know it will be well received by the public."
The first song on the new album is one Selena recorded when she was just 13 years old. Selena's brother was able to digitally update her voice to sound exactly as she did before her death in 1995, according to her father.
Selena, a native of Corpus Christi, Texas, was a Grammy Award-winning Tejano superstar who was shot and killed by her fan club's president, Yolanda Saldivar, at a motel after Selena's father accused Saldivar of embezzling funds from Selena's fan club and her Selena Etc. boutiques.
Dubbed the Queen of Tejano Music, Selena won a Grammy Award for Best Mexican-American Album for Live! and was on the verge of crossing over into the English-language market just before her death. Selena sold around 18 million records worldwide, becoming one of the bestselling female artists in Latin music, according to Billboard.
In 1997, two years after her death, Warner Bros. released a blockbuster movie about her life and career that starred Jennifer Lopez as Selena. And in 2020, Netflix released the series Selena: The Series, telling the story of the sacrifices her family made along the way to fame.
Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding have proved time and time again that they're a musical dream team, having scored one of the biggest hits of both of their careers last year when divine trance banger Miracle hit Number 1 in the UK for eight weeks.
Halsey is one of the most chameleonic pop stars of her generation, with each album always offering a different sonic palate to enjoy (just take her last record, 2021's classic in the making If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power which churned up industrial-rock scuzz courtesy of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) and always managing to feel distinctly true to who she is in that moment.
