Hi, by now this listing is fairly useless, as long as there are no rules on how and in which sequence to enter the different numbering systems LLP nnnn and 6. nnnnn XX Line has come up with over the time. To me it looks useful to start with the LLP numbers to get this stuff somehow sorted!

Beware of Line Records cd reissues and their awful mastering. For instance on some Line versions of Mark-Almond - Mark-Almond II there's an unexpected buzz signal at 5'18" in track three, and on some Line versions of Mark-Almond - 73 there's an unexpected buzz signal at 3'34" in track six. These disruptions are very audible and it's astounding they've escaped quality control supervision. Line just released these awful masterings for sale. Obviously they don't care much for listeners, or for the work of their artists.
