thatsunday 13th Jul 2014		CD Album Imelda May - Love Tattoo (2007)	I would say that Universal took over existing stock after licensing and used this sticker to have their own logos and barcode on the CD. Later pressings integrated the logos and barcode into the artwork. A pressing without sticker should be entered under Ambassador, the Universal pressing under Blue Thumb as releasing label. The one with sticker? Probably as a variation when the Blue Thumb pressing is entered one day (don't expect me have it done in the next 10 years, it's the letter M and I'm still at A)
thatsunday 31st Mar 2014		CD Album Jean Knight - Mr. Big Stuff (2002)	I don't know why listing it for each country is such a big deal because it would clutter up the discographies. And it might be difficult to identify "real" different pressings if there are no images with the entries. then re-pressings with the same label and catalogue number in each country which mostly had changes to the artwork to include local legal and copyright information etc and often a different catalogue number as well. So this would make them a unique release assigned to a single county (or market ie Europe) as they were only sold there. BTW: If I remember correctly ZYX in Germany was the only licensee for the Fantasy catalogue outside of the USA (before Fantasy did a deal with Universal) and pressed the CDs. All other companies mentioned in the artwork are hence not licensees but distributors only.
thatsunday 27th Mar 2014		CD Album Fehlfarben - Xenophonie (2012)	I would say separate when a) a (slightly) different catalogue number (like a letter which denotes the promo status of the CD, ie a P after the standard cat no) is used b) the packaging is totally different to the commercially released version (like here) but not when the only difference is something like "promo copy" printed on the label or artwork.
