hah

should different CD pressing be entered separately in MB? I see in discogs even different pressings at the same plant are entered separately

https://musicbrainz.org/release/de31ca06-a515-4... -- this one should correspond to one of them, or some other pressing which is not entered

notsosmart : i believe if it's literally just the same thing, you can enter a second release date

just add a release event and fill out the second date

although if it fundamentally changed in some way, then you do a second release

but the release date is unknown

I very much doubt it is different in any even barely substantial way

I could link to all three of them, but there is a distinction between two pressing plants in discogs, and on MB there is an option to enter a pressing plant

so by linking to discogs I indicate that the release is pressed in one of those plants, but I don't know that

so I'd rather remove a link to discogs

but I could also link to all three discogs releases, if pressing plant is not relevant

notsosmart i mean you say its a re-pressing right?

if there's no known release date

then what is distinct about it?

https://www.discogs.com/release/12299829 - pressed by Cinram, Olyphant, PA, Mastering SID Code: ifpi L909

https://www.discogs.com/release/1384087 - pressed by Cinram, Olyphant, PA, Mastering SID Code: ifpi L902

https://www.discogs.com/release/14803519 - SRC Pressing

that is what is different between them

the first pressing of this CD was in 1996, but it is not known from what dates 2 of them are

Discogs is for collectors, and they care very much about different pressings, matrix, etc. MusicBrainz is primarily for taggers, so if the essentials are unchanged (cover art, barcode, track times), it doesn’t generally warrant a separate release.
