Toshiba/EMI "Black Triangle" CD Listing

I know that 3 of the most popular early 1980's Toshiba/EMI Japanese "Black Triangle" cd's are the following:

Abbey Road - CP35-3016
Dark Side of the Moon - CP35-3017
Wings Greatest - CP35-3114

I'm sure there are other titles that are equally as impressive and worth seeking out. Any recommendations? What would be really great is a listing of all titles that exist as black triangles with catalog numbers. Does something like this already exist on the web? I haven't been able to find a website that has anything like this.

Any info is appreciated!

Thanks,

Mike

 

I only have one--Kate Bush's "Lionheart"--and it's exactly the same as the later stock CD.

 

There are many more than the four that have been listed here. Our member, aceman400 (Aaron), has compiled a list. Perhaps he will post it here. For now, here are the black-triangle discs that I have:

Artist title (catalog number)
* The Band The Best of The Band (CP32-5074)
* The Beatles Abbey Road (CP35-3016)
* Bizet (Orchestre National de France, Seiji Ozawa, conductor) Symphony in C Major, Patrie-Dramatic Oveture, Op. 19, Petite Suite "Jeux D-Enfants", Op. 22 (CC38-3031)
* David Bowie Let's Dance (CP35-3034)
* Peter Gabriel So (32VD-1021)
* Julian Lennon Valotte (32VD-1004)
* Huey Lewis and The News Sports (CP32-5029)
* Huey Lewis and The News Fore! (CP32-5160)
* Gustav Mahler (London Philharmonic Orchestra, Klaus Tennstedt, conductor) Symphony No. 2, "Resurrection" (CC38-3141-2) (two-disc set)
* Paul McCartney & Wings Band on the Run (CP32-5038)

* Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band Live Bullet (CP32-5101)
* Tina Turner Private Dancer (CP35-3148)
* Various One Night With Blue Note, Volume 3 (CP32-5064)

Some discs were also released with a blue triangle instead of black. I have only one such disc:

* Various Demonstration Vol. 10 (TEC-2001)

Aaron has many more blue- and black-triangle discs than I do, so hopefully he will jump in here.

 

Here is a list to get you started. These are most likely triangle discs. The TEC titles are blue triangles. There were only about 40 made the best I can tell.

Wow, that list has me drooling! I wonder how those early Blue Notes sound?

 

Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder is killer. The Cannonball Adderley is OK. I think the MFSL is better. Miles Davis Birth of the Cool is great also.

 

I can personally vouch for the quality of these:
Live Bullet
Dark Side of the Moon
Heart Like A Wheel

Would love to find some more of these...

 

Thank you very much Aaron and Keith! That is exactly what I was hoping to get!

I have the DSOTM and Meddle black triangles on the way to me and wanted to see what other titles may be of interest. I'd love to get Wings Greatest, but that one seems very hard to find.

Thanks again!

 

Here are a few more. These are mainly artists which are primarily known in Japan. Most of these are triangles also. I have acquired a few of them, but have never compared them to any other versions.

Aaron - if you don't mind another question, can you give us your thoughts on the other McCartney black triangles: Tug of War, Pipes of Peace & Venus and Mars? I remember reading something here already on Band on the Run and that it was great too.

Thanks!

 

I'm not Aaron but I have the black triangle Band on the Run and Venus and Mars. Steve's Band on the Run is MUCH better than the black triangle. Venus and Mars sounds good, although Steve's version has better dynamics, especially in the Venus and Mars/Rock Show opener. Steve has discussed here how he created some dynamics on Venus and Mars when presented with the EQ'd masters he would have preferred not to use, but had no choice.

 

I don't know if black triangle CP32 discs are the same, but almost all of the CP32 Blue Notes were Japanese pressings of their US equivalents, including mastering. They were remastered by Ron McMaster, the engineer who remasters most of Blue Note's US CDs. I have compared a few of them to their US counterparts are they sound pretty much identical to me.

Sure,
I have both the DCC and the black triangles of Venus and Mars and Band on the Run. If you have the DCC's you probably don't need the triangles of these titles sound quality and packaging wise.
I like the Band on the Run triangle because it doesn't have Helen Wheels on it (you can get this on GEMM for $45 sealed from a seller called Musicdisc who is fantastic). I like the Venus and Mars triangle because of the indexing of songs (you can do a search to find more information on this). Pipes of Peace isn't a must have in my book mainly because of song content IMO a stinker of an album. Tug of War sounds better to my ears than the black face made in Japan version. I'd have to hear them both again to remember why.

Black triangles I highly recommend are
Huey Lewis and the News - Sports
David Bowie - Let's Dance
Duran Duran - Rio

 

If a Live Bullet CD has a catalog number of CP325101, is it for sure a black triangle?? Or did that catalog continue as a non-triangle? If so, would it matter (same mastering??)

 

I have Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" on a RED-triangle disc, IIRC!

 

I'm pretty sure that is incorrect, at least for any legit. pressing. There is a black-triangle version of Physical.

 

My Live Bullet disc has the black-triangle design. I have not seen a version with catalog number CP32-5101 that lacks the black triangle. EMI used the CP32 series in Japan for years, and later titles in the series lack the black triangle. Many discs in the CP32-53XX series lack the black triangle.

 

Do we know if the early US Bullet CD's have the same mastering as the Black Triangles?

 

Oops, you're right! I just checked at home and realized I put the black triangle disc in a red tray because of Olivia's red dress (all of the three look nice - the red dress, the red tray, and Olivia, of course). Too much red, that's why I thought the triangle was also red... ;-)

 

I'd love to get Kim Wilde's "Catch as Catch Can" on any CD, much less a black triangle version.

 

Does anyone know this?

 

I would guess they are probably the same. I can send a link if your looking for a black triangle live bullet

 

Yes and no.

 

Aaron, a couple of updates for you and both are triangles...

32VD-1026 Genesis Wind And Wuthering
32VD-1063 King Crimson In The Court Of The Crimson King

 

Dave,

I own the original US copy...so you are saying I should seek the Black Triangle???
