I'm trying to figure out what this is http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e1...

The media format seems to indicate it's music, but Tadanori Yokoo is an illustrator

hibiscuskazeneko: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_High_Density ?

This is the AHD audio-only variant

(I already entered a style ticket to add VHD as a media format)

I'm trying to figure out the disc's contents

Maybe AHD with some video too? (not sure how compatible they are)

Sounds about right

I do know that this Yokoo guy did collaborate with Haruomi Hosono at some point

I'm trawling Yahoo! Auctions for VHDs to add (so reosarevok doesn't get the impression that there was only one ever made)

Haha

I'm sure there are more :)

I just added one

They seem to have been popular as a tool to promote idols

Is AHD actually a different thing and do you also want it?

It appears to be the equivalent of DVD-Audio

I'm holding off on it for now until I can locate some releases

Found one! http://www.ebay.com/itm/SIMON-AND-GARFUNKEL-THE...

I think I found a sketchy release http://musicbrainz.org/release/5c6d250c-4dbf-31...

I checked the UPC on Amazon and it points to a different release (on top of that, the Amazon link is for something else)

yeah, the amazon link is definitely not correct

It was added by an editor who likely didn't know what he was doing

(or didn't look like it)

I don't know if the release is supposed to be a disc in a larger release or whether Zastai mistook it for something else

Should I create a separate release group for this? (I normally do but I saw that that Simon & Garfunkel release had been lumped together.) http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLONDIE-VideoDisc-CED-C...

hibiscuskazeneko: I’d keep it in the same RG.

I guess it depends on whether you consider the “Video album” to be different from the regular album. :-)

I'd keep it in the same RG too

haha. this is helpful. http://www.legacyrecordings.com/a/#/artist/garf...

"followers: the bangles"

That's what I was thinking

Multi-disc releases weren't supported when that was added

hibiscuskazeneko, if you're in a mergy moode, https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=barcode%3A...

damn, that was lazy. i should do it.

knock yourself out

(I'll help by voting Yes ;)

reosarevok: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/STYLE-439

Where do you find all these weird things :D

I'll look into it in a day or two, and also into the other one :)

I'd known about them for a while

Only since we started supporting video have I felt the time was right to add them to MB

(I'm adding a third CED right now)

I knew about CED (have a player and some discs even) but did not know there were any music releases.

Most of what I've found are concert videos

(aside from that Blondie video album)

(that are music-related, I mean; most of the eBay listings I see are movies)

zas: by the way, recordings get merged automatically when you merge a release... well, if you merge the discs rather than appending them, that is

oh, poop. you can't merge a disc into multi-disc set can you? I mean, you can append but not merge into "CD 1" or whatever.

you can

(you can tell I'm angry when I say 'poop')

it merges corresponding disc numbers though

so you might need to change the position of the disc you're merging before it'll let you merge

oh. pfft. it /does/ explain that right there above the edit note box.

in your defence, if you read everything on the site, you'd never get anything done :P

haha

Yeah, we probably should be less wordy in places :/

Like, many places

the old Wikipedia rabbit hole?

the only winning move is not to turn the computer on

woah. unexpected. https://musicbrainz.org/edit/31471109 went through as an auto-edit?

yes

cool, I guess. at least I don't have to wait :-)

I haven't had a good, long dumb-question day in a while. This is fun.

These two edits are going to conflict, aren't they?

if the recordings one passes first, it should be fine

if not, I don't know what will happen

I think it might still work fine

but predicting merges is a difficult task

I guess I could cancel mine until the others pass, to be safe

Does Rachel read logs?

Freso: I think so.

Well, I'll tell her when I catch her on. :p
