derwin: Hmm, that album doesn’t seem to be covered in ‘we don’t consider these to be comps’, but do you mean because the recordings haven’t been released before?

" a various artists song collection, usually based on a general theme ("Songs for Lovers"), a particular time period ("Hits of 1998"), or some other kind of grouping ("Songs From the Movies", the "Café del Mar" series, etc).

I guess maybe it *is* a compilation because it's various artists, it's just not in the "usually" clause?

That’s so weird. Aren’t all compilations based on general themes :D

I would generally go by ‘have these recordings been released before’, but I can’t say I’ve ever lost sleep over the ‘compilation’ type on VA releases...
2023-01-16 01636, 2023
aerozol
Oh wait, it’s in the ‘these are compilations’ pile. That makes sense to me

If the recordings have been released elsewhere + it’s to “showcase the current French club / bass scene” I think it ticks both boxes

they haven't been released elsewhere, which is the most common case of electronic compilations
2023-01-16 01600, 2023

Hmm well then it might not be a ‘compilation’ just a VA release indeed. VA kind of = compilation anyway, in the way you’re thinking of it. I actually don’t know though, I would automatically assign compilation as you would

Maybe reosarevok has thoughts
2023-01-16 01608, 2023

I wouldn't usually assign a compilation to, like, a 4 track VA ep
2023-01-16 01618, 2023
derwin
but a 13 track "<name> vol 1" I would
2023-01-16 01641, 2023

If I suspected the recordings were just for that comp I probably wouldn’t, just seems like a VA ‘release’. But that’s less common with non electronic (apparently)
2023-01-16 01628, 2023
derwin
it's super common in the world of electronic music for an artist to get a track signed to a VA compilation for a label, and then later put out different tracks on an EP
2023-01-16 01647, 2023
derwin
they often explicitly refer to themselves as "compilations" fwiw
" This dirtybird compilation is loaded with 11 great tunes I have been collecting for over 6 months. "

I can’t speak to electronic releases sorry. Would be interested in hearing how others approach it
2023-01-16 01632, 2023

Generally speaking I think general terminology would be to just call all VA releases compilations, and MB is the outlier. Which might be good, as it gives us another tool (rather than just have the VA tab always have the same secondary type)

I think this is kind of on the edge, but given they themselves call it a compilation I guess I could see calling it that

I'd argue technically it's not - it's just a VA album :) But 🤷♂️

Yes but this more about the whole editing history for this recording.
2023-01-16 01643, 2023
adhawkins
I think his edits are probably correct, the issue is that the recording is also associated with the original track on JMJs original releases.
2023-01-16 01657, 2023
yvanzo
For example the latest edit notes don’t specify the booklet of which release is referred to.

CatQuest: The issue is, I think his edit is probably correct for the cover release. However, the same recording is used for the original release, which sounds wrong to me.
