...But as an observation, the variations you mention should, and would show up in the discographies here, as they are arranged chronologically, so for any "national" list, the earliest iteration of the label will show earlier in the listing, and as it changes, the label name changes will appear in blocks in those given discographies according to those dates... I think there's already enough items in the discography to suggest that is already beginning to show, and that the more items are added, the more pronounced that will become...
(with, perhaps a degree of overlap - one label variation release in the middle of what follows, anomalously)
...The other confirming factor would be the associated catalogue numbering system used - Noise International seems to have a different system than just Noise... and even that the "country" used may reflect this change too: Originally, in it's earliest iteration, purely Europe or Germany, but the then the later issues under the label name variations being more among the individual European nations - due to the addition of pressing plants outside of Germany etc. over time.
What grouping the items together allows us to do, is make those label progressions visible by contrast, by virtue of comparison... and it may even allow us to determine that one of those anomalous "Noise" only label items among a cluster of "Noise International" items which also has a different catalogue system ought perhaps be moved to a different country, where it better sits among the items there.
I suspect, in the end, we'll conclude also, that those "Germany" ones were made for many countries outside of Germany, and should be moved to a European designation.
(I think most early CDs of any label ought to go this way too, and for the same reason)
Thanks for the tidy up Magic Marmalade, looks good.
A look at the Discogs and Wikipedia sites would roughly suggest a timeline for the "Noise" label as follows.
1983 to 1987 "Noise Records" (a division of Modern Music Records GmbH)
1987 to 1993 "Noise International" (due to expansion into UK and US markets)
1993 to 1996 "Noise"
1997 to 2007 "Noise Records" (sold to Sanctuary Records Group in 2001, ceased all activity 2007)
Oct 2007 Sanctuary Records Group acquired by Universal Music Group
2016 - "Noise Records" (Sanctuary Records catalogue sold by Universal to BMG Rights Management who relaunched "Noise Records"
I've taken a look at the Noise label discographies, and it varies from item to item as to whether it's Noise, or Noise International...
... So, have made Noise International a pseudonym of Noise, for both instances where they occur (Germany and Europe)... so Noise international for those countries now appear in Noise discographies, and I have grouped the different countries for Noise under that name (So just search for Noise to get Noise :)
I have an early (possibly first pressing) 1992-93 release of this CD. Same #cat, barcode, Label: Noise International and made in Germany printed on rear of inlay card. My question is, should this entry be changed to:
Label = Noise
Country = Europe
as that is what is printed on image 317932 ? Then I could add the German release. Noise, Noise International are listed as separate labels on this site but I'm not sure that they aren't the same thing as far as 45worlds is concerned.
