Have to say I don't like this kind of thing chaps.
swbcfc made the original entry, albeit without images, based on details that later turn out to have been correct for the item he entered it as, or from.
Adding images from other issues after the fact, and adjusting the details to suit those at the expense of the original submitter's work in good faith is like a kind of hijacking of someone's entry... meaning that the original entry (and details) will have to be entered again, either by swbcfc, or someone else who has that issue. At the very least, he will have to adjust his "owned" items in his collection away from his own original entry and work, and that hardly seems fair.
Additionally, as so many images have been added since to transform the entry, and a couple of people have added this (presumably, in it's current state) to their collections mods can't separate those that own this issue from those that own the issue as originally added... So making a new entry, and sorting out who owns what is impossible.
I don't think anyone here would like that to happen to their work, so Please try not to do it.
If an item has different details than your copy, and yet doesn't have images, do not assume that it was a mistake in entering by the person who made the entry, and don't ask for it to be corrected.
Instead, if an item bearing your copy / issues' details are not already on site, then feel free to make an new entry for it.
Added sticker from the front of this release. I agree with mojofilter that the catalog number and bar code need to be revised for this entry. The original entry was by swbcfc, but there are no scans or notes saying it is a Sony Music Special Product issue. Since we have a complete original issue input here, we should just go with the information that is presented and correct the catalog number to 74465 99753 2 and bar code to 744659975325.
Hi mojofilter, Sony & BMG formed a partnership in 2004 to become Sony BMG Music Entertainment. That lasted until 2009 when Sony bought out BMG's share and the company became Sony Music Entertainment again. To confuse things even more, BMG formed a new company, BMG Rights Management, which started off as mainly publishing but then got back into recordings (including acquiring the Sanctuary catalogue from Universal due to the EU-mandated divestiture of some of Universal's assets as a condition of buying the bulk of EMI in 2012/2013), and those were initially distributed by [PIAS] (Play It Again Sam Records}, but some recent issues, such as the Kinks' Pye catalogue held by Sanctuary, have been made and distributed by Sony! Anyway. Discogs has 2008 for the issue with the 888... barcode, and that is probably right, as it fits into the Sony BMG period, where the barcodes were unified under one system.
Then shouldn't this one, being the original issue, have the correct bar code number inserted into that field? I agree about a second entry being needed for the Sony reissue.
Hi mojofilter, I've just done a search on barcode 886972677125 in Discogs, and it comes up with other versions of this album, one of which has had the label entered as Sony Music Special Products, so I think another user here must have one of those versions and has entered that barcode accordingly. I have noticed myself that when US Sony drop a product into a lower price point and move it to SMSP, they retain the original catalogue number but change the barcode - I think I have a couple of Bob Dylan reissues like that. Anyway, I think yours is the original issue and the 888.... barcode is the later SMSP one, so there should be two entries here.
Would anyone care to venture a guess as to how the catalogue number, which I entered correctly the first time as 74465 99753 2 , has been replaced by the bar code number (744659975325), and the bar code number is still the bar code number from some other album?
Scans added. Not sure where the original poster got the bar code number from. As you can see on the back insert, it is 744659975325, which isn't even in the same ballpark as the number he quoted.
