^ Yes, let's wait for Eugene's opinion.
And now we've got 3 "two originals" entries: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=10727 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=28616 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=45441 Should we kill them? Each has 1 review... |

Thanks, Julien. I've PMd Keishiro results of David's investigation. I think let's wait for the answer - if Keishiro will damn Progressive Line for all time we'll delete their CDs from Releases info. Little it will change though - tons of albums on PA have quite messy Release info, we can't change the situation in general.
I agree, but let's wait for almighty Keishiro.

Quick work! As long as Progressive Line isn't actually mentioned in the releases information then it doesn't matter that we're going to have more albums on the site that they have 'bootlegged' at some point. The original vinyl releases of these albums would have all been official ones, with the same track lists and timings as the CD bootlegs. As long as we aren't including the Progressive Line bootleg CD re-issues in the releases information section, then hopefully nobody visiting the site and reading the page will be aware of their existence. If your tool has sniffed out all the albums we have on the site that specifically mention Progressive Line CDs in the releases information section, and Eugene agrees that these references really hadn't ought to be there, then all we have to do is edit those fourteen that you've listed above to remove the offending bootleg from the releases information section, and it's job done!

Nick Katona replied very promptly to my message on facebook regarding the four Ten Jinn 'Sisyphus' album 'bonus tracks': "It's a bootleg for sure".
That'll do for me! Is anyone here a member of discogs, and able to log in and request that the image of the bogus CD inlay is removed from the Sisyphus album page there?

^ Well, the tool has spoken...
There are 14 entries with "Progressive Line" in the Releases information. http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=4698 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=4992 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7136 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7493 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7575 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=9767 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=10727 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=11180 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=18364 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=22025 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=24224 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=24225 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=28616 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=44692 Maybe there is more albums from that label on PA, because Releases information isn't always well documented. For example: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=45441

And how many more of these dubious Progressive Line 'two in one' releases do we have hidden away on the site I wonder?
Here's one: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=10727. Progressive Line even gets mentioned in the band's biography too "Both albums were never released on Cd until the Australian label Progressive Line released both albums on a 2 album on 1 Cd format in 2003". Maybe You could tweak your tool again Julien, to enable it to round up any more of them that might be lurking. Edit: Here's another: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=28616. And another: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7136. I don't think there were that many two-for-one releases by Progressive Line thankfully. A couple that I found listed on discogs haven't been added here, so maybe that's it. But the next question is, do we need to remove any references to unofficial single album releases by Progressive Line that we have in our releases information, such as here: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=4698? There are probably going to be a fair few of those, for which we might need Julien to whip his tool out again to help track them all down.

Not a very positive review though lol! "I'm equally as dismissive when the two are paired up awkwardly like this. Perhaps even moreso. Again; why does this compilation exist?" That last bit says it all!

^^ Yeah, I saw that page too, but those are two separate CD cover scans that the guy has in his collection
TEN JINN SISYPHUS (CD) TEN JINN PROGDAY ENCORE (CDR) Progday Encore was available as 7 genuine factory pressed CDs via CDBaby until a few years ago. I actually bought a copy of it from them in 2013. I daresay it has been copied onto CD-Rs a few times since then however. I've messaged Nick on facebook, since he uses that site all the time. Whether he spots the message from someone he's not connected with is another matter though - facebook don't make these very visible at all. I'll give him a couple of days to respond, and if he doesn't I'll message him on here instead.

Nice research here, David! I'm on your side again! I asked Keishiro about it (a week ago), and his answer was "I think we do not need to hurry up for such an issue, but to research carefully." Maybe time has come? P.S. This album has one review... maybe that's the problem? I'm not sure... NAP: Thanks, David, for your research. When I cried "Help!" I had no doubts where it may come from. Julien, I think review isn't a problem here, it's doomed - no release, no review, no problem.

^ Good idea. Did you already ask him?
In the meantime, I went back and edited the tracklist. I think the officiel CD has only two tracks, as mentioned here (see photo). And here I found a mention for a Ten Jinn CD-R titled "ProgDay Encore"... so it looks like you are right, David.

Why aren't these 'bonus tracks' mentioned anywhere on the Internet? Even in this piece titled "Melodic Revolution Records is thrilled to sign International prog band TEN JINN for a multi-album deal", on progradar.com, there is no mention of any bonus tracks being included on the CD issue of the album, and the image on discogs shows the title of the CD as 'Sisyphus + Progday Encore' & not just 'Sisyphus'. There is no mention anywhere on the Internet of such an album being officially released, by Melodic Revolution Records or anyone else. Is this a photo of yet another bootleg CD? As I said in my previous reply, I can't really imagine why these four totally unrelated old live tracks recorded almost 20 years earlier would get chucked in at the end of a new eight-part concept album which tells the story of the founder and King of Corinth! It makes no sense whatsoever to me, other than as an attempt by some bootleg label or other to steal sales of the album by throwing in these now very hard to find 'freebies' from the band's distant past in order to tempt the punters. The image on discogs has no copyright info, release information etc visible, and looks to me like a very basic printing of the disc inlay rather than a genuine article. Let's ask Nick Katona of MMR if this is a genuine release or not - he's a member here (albeit not a particularly regular visitor).

This text about bootlegs is copied from the CD Reissue Wishlist blog: 7. How can you tell a CD is a bootleg? There are no sure fire ways, but here are some general tips for modern reissues: 1) Does the label have a website? 2) Does the CD have a band history newly written with participation of the band? 3) Are there unseen photos? 4) Are there bonus tracks that have never been issued before? (watch out for this common trick from bootleggers - they'll include a rare 45 or compilation track taken from their vinyl collection - no different than copying the LP itself). 5) Did the label suddenly reissue dozens of very hard to find albums -- from all over the world -- all at once? This would be impossible to achieve if you are trying to obtain rights, pay royalties, track down band members, tape owners and/or labels, etc... While these are general tips, that doesn't mean that failing to meet all the above is an automatic bootleg. For example, the major labels don't typically do any of those things (except maybe have a website), yet they are entirely legit. Also, due to corporate laws in Japan and Korea, many of the impossible to find major label releases in Europe and the US (that is, those owned by Universal, Sony, etc...) can come out exclusively in Asia, and be totally legal. Also, there's a tendency to arrive at a knee jerk conclusion that everything coming out of Russia is a bootleg. While that's a persistent problem, there are many hardworking legit labels who do it the right way (e.g. MALS, Soyuz, etc...). As always, do your homework, gather the data, and make an honest assessment from there. 8. What's the big deal if I buy a bootleg anyway? The album is impossible to find and I can't afford to pay hundreds of dollars for an original LP. And it's not like the artists are getting paid anyway, right? In the 1990s, I held this view myself. Then I realized that many of the great albums weren't being reissued BECAUSE there was a bootleg. Labels were discouraged that the potential buying public had been eliminated. And then, like many of my friends, we ended up buying the legit release anyway (after being suckered in by the bootleg) because of 1) better sound 2) quality bonus tracks 3) interesting histories, photos, insights etc... In those days, if you wanted to hear a really rare album, you had to trade cassettes with a closely guarded cabal or --- buy the bootleg. Today it is far easier to obtain a rare recording. Be creative with Google. Do what you have to, but by ALL MEANS, BUY THE LEGIT CD when it gets reissued (if you like the music of course). Don't be a cheapskate!!!!! I'm serious here. No legit label in this business makes much profit, and it's a labor of love at best. We MUST SUPPORT them (that is, using real money and buying their product) if you want more rarities to be reissued! If you buy bootlegs, all you end up doing is lining the pockets of some ambitious record collector. The artists get screwed and, at the end of the day, the music fan gets screwed too. Buying bootlegs is flat out stupid in this modern era. For me, the Abacus 'Two Originals' release by Progressive Line definitely need to disappear from PA. |

Old homework for us. One of the albums with empty tracklist: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=45441.
"Unofficial reissue label of unknown origin (identified as Australian on the releases, but in fact from Germany). Their releases have an address and licensing info, but both are bogus. Matrix rings on discs are devoid of any additional information. All releases known are vinyl transfers, and not remastered as stated." and has to be deleted. But, as Mayer says, Discogs isn't a Bible. Neither Keishiro nor I could find other confirmations of this release and record label's pirate nature. Any help is welcome.

Well, I understand your concern, but because of the "later Wahnfried" I think we can classify this under "W". Weird artist/project/band name anyway...
