Added Mexican inlay as per your request Magic. Do you want to change this to international or do you need more evidence. I'll be happy to oblige. By the way to the best of my knowledge everything I own was only released in Australia. So I'd be grateful if you change all of my entries to Australian as country or does this logic not work both ways?
This linked release of Rumours below is listed as international on the strength of matching barcodes alone. The cat#s do not match but the barcodes do and this issue of the Beatles Revolver is listed as international and has a Canadian and EU issue that have the same label, cat# and barcode. The same correlations exist between the Canadian and EU releases of this CD so I did send a correction.
However, that doesn't apply here for some reason? Alright then. I'm just looking for some consistency across releases and asking the question and don't think your comment answers it. Would you like another crack at it?
If you have the Mexican issue Lee, we will be both happy, and grateful to receive your new entry for it... Thank You!
As far as the entry and images on this page are concerned, I've perused the images here, and cannot see any reference to anything, with regard to either manufacture or distribution, outside Europe.
kab made the entry, HelBic and rustineil added images...
...all of these members are resident in Europe, and indeed, the UK, and so it is both natural, and acceptable for them to add entries / images according to the best of their knowledge.... not, I assume, being versed in the distribution practices of major labels or their corporate infrastructure.
Fortunately, this site is designed to work in this very way - hence the ability to make a request for correction if need be, which you are free to use any time if need be, perhaps, because you know better, or are in possession of facts others are not.
The alternative is, that nobody makes any entries, because they are too frightened of "making a mistake", thereby setting the standard that they must know all and everything about the major label distribution network for the globe over, which, I would humbly suggest nobody does.
...From here, no entries are made, and there is no way establishing such facts, as no evidence (entries) are available to make comparisons between, and determine differences.
This is an open forum/ site, which welcomes anyone's best efforts, either in the time and effort they apply in making entries or adding images... or indeed, bring whatever knowledge they have, to whatever degree they have it, to bear... and we are grateful for ALL of this, and don't want to put people off.
With regards this entry then, if you state there is a separate issue of this for Australia, then quite rightly, we don't need to alter to International on that basis... so perhaps, then, you could help me out by showing which countries outside the EU this particular version was available in, in order to make the determination to change to International?
...Where in the inlay images provided it shows this information?
....Was the Canadian issue available in Europe, or any territory outside Canada?
.......Should a separate entry be made for Canada therefore on the strength of this?
.........If you have the Canadian issue there in Australia... should the Canadian one be listed International instead?
........... Would a Mexican issue be available outside Mexico (Spanish language perhaps... but avbailable in Spain also, for instance?) ?
If so, and you make the Canadian entry, I'll be happy to move you Candian image to it, save you having to upload that particular image again.
I'm sorry you find this site disappointing Lee, being less than perfect, as it is, coming across problems as it does, it can be frustrating, I know, but it's an ongoing project, the building of which, ought to be as engaging as the information we hope it provides...such as it can.
...But if it were perfect, it wouldn't need any of us now would it?
If you know of a better "perfect" site, we'd all like to see that too, and would welcome a link to it.
But for now, if you know better than any information on currently on site, Please submit it as a correction request. Thanks.
International and reading the inlay will tell anyone that if they bother to look. Should I upload the Mexican version? Perhaps we should start EU world for those that have trouble with identifying how things are distributed in the modern era?
Added inlay from the Canadian release instead. There were other choices. The Australian release is different and has a different barcode so we're safe from the international dustbin on this one. Why we persist with guidelines that no-one really follows is still an ongoing mystery to me. If you know why let me know because it really detracts from my enjoyment of the site seeing items consistently listed incorrectly.
Better still change the guidelines to suit what has become common site practise so we can avoid these unnecessary problems around listing items in the international category.
