Thanks for explaining the actual reasoning, scrough. Makes sense to make entering new records as easy as possible even for complete neophytes. So I've created a new entry for the RCA Victor version and have linked it to this entry below.
Jock_Girl said: "If anything HMV / Victor and RCA Victor should be unified into one flowing label list" - but this is exactly the reason why we have two individual lists rather than one- so folks know where to put an entry without understanding label histories.
@xiphophilos: The company was re-organised in Canada to more closely align with the US parent company and the label was renamed to RCA Victor. Over the years similar things would happen at RCA Victor, seeing as in the late 80s they dropped the 'Victor' part and just became RCA. So, in order to keep a 'sane' timeline of the pressings, the RCA Victor version should be separate as they are effectively re-issues after 1946. If anything HMV / Victor and RCA Victor should be unified into one flowing label list.
@xiphophilos: For a similar 78rpm example of split listings for a 'single' label see Winner and Edison Bell Winner which was implemented by one of our admins. My feelings are to go with the JLC135 and Jock_Girl suggestion in this case.
@Jock_Girl: I admit I am not familiar with the Beatles case, and quickly glancing at the entries on 45 rpm wasn't enough to completely familiarize me with the background.
In any case, Apple and EMI Capitol, as far as I could see, were two completely different companies, whereas the company that produced both the Victor labels and the RCA Victor labels happens to be the same, RCA Victor Division of Radio Corporation of America in the U.S. and RCA Victor Company Ltd. in Canada.
So at this point, I do not yet understand how these two cases are similar. The RCA Victor case seems to involve no more than a redesign of the label, whereas with Apple and Capitol, we are dealing with releases of the same material on two very distinct labels.
@xiphophilos: Actually it should be a new separate entry. For the same reason that we have separate entries for Beatles 45s on Apple and Capitol, these should be separate.
