ok so here's a thing https://musicbrainz.org/release/cd6f2a8d-e08e-4... was added using https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1534976884?... as a link... which is to a score not a release

I can't find it in any other version

MajorLurker: maybe the amazon page has changed? maybe try archive?

the score may have a cd attached

we can try asking the user

MajorLurker: I found https://brightmorningstar.org/christmas-cantata/ which talk about " Each MSP got a ... of an eight-track version of the work. "

Ok so it looks like you may be right,,,, possibly backing tracks

:)

i'm glad if i could help

always very helpful :)

oh well I tidied it a little .... one track does not appear the list though

I take that back... they are all listed I am just blind

well versions..... nvm me.... old age and tired!

loujine: a little bit unrelated to MB: do you know how/when two BnF authority entries get merged? Is there a way to tell the BnF that two entries actually belong to the same person?

SothoTalKer: no idea

This is weird: https://musicbrainz.org/recording/9771ea20-210b...

Every album that recording is on calls it “St. James Infirmary,” but the recording is listed as “Ole Miss” and as a recording of the work of the same name. Armstrong did record “Ole Miss”… this smells to me like bad data entry that was later corrected on each album, but the recording name stuck around. Any jazz nerds in the house?

Comparing a YouTube version of Armstrong’s “St. James” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzcpUdBw7gs (definitely the song I’m familiar with) and the recording referenced above, they are *very* different. Sloppy anthologists, I guess.

So then, the question is how best to model this in MBz… I hate to have such a grossly mislabeled track, but that is what the liner notes give it as. )-:
