Hello everybody, I wanted to ask a question about the release (group) Cha Cha Cha by Turbo (https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/5ebf8d8a-...).

In the description of the YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC_WbVzvKzw), there is a download link to Google Drive which also contains an instrumental version of the track. As far as I know, the instrumental version can only be found at the Google Drive.

The existing release on MusicBrainz refers to the song on streaming service, so I was informed that I can't add the instrumental track there, since it is not on streaming services.

Would it be appropriate to add a release which contains both tracks and link to the Google Drive?

It’s debatable, but imo you could argue that the YouTube video is a release, with a downloadable bonus track included, via a link. Thus adding the YouTube link as a new release in the group, with the downloadable track as ‘digital media 2’( e.g. ‘disc 2’). But you would have to argue your case well. It doesn’t hurt to try, though.

Hm, okay. Thanks for your opinion

does anyone think these 2 releases could be merged https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/043dcb8a-... same track count and duration?

Goldmaster[m]1: The tracks are not in the same order, so I'd say no

Ah thanks for pointing that out. But could the recordings be merged as they are the same length. Only difference is the track order and that's it

Goldmaster[m]1: You're very welcome! Yes, the recordings should be merged

the title of both releases and the RG should be "Look at U (remix)" based on the cover art

Reminder: Downtime will start in 2h from now: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2024/05/13/downtime...

Should chatlogs.musicbrainz.org still redirect to web.archive.org instead of chatlogs.metabrainz.org
