Supergrass - Lenny		Hi Magic, see my comment on this Pink Floyd release from 5 years ago. A better example of the practise described is this Pink Floyd release. An example of a multi-faceted cock-up is this Pink Floyd release. So it's hard to tell really sometimes we get the EU issue as released in the EU, sometimes just EMI Swindon glass as the case seems to be here. However we can also have locally made and EU versions with the same details released simultaneously and anything in between. David Bowie's 1999 reissues on EMI were a case where both locally made and EU made products were issued at the same time.

Maahrjick (that's the Australian spelling), the point is evidence of one will not prove others don't or did not exist. Not very helpful I know in this case but it might be handy to know and it really only applies to 1995 to 2000 era EMI releases.

Supergrass - Lenny		The Australian issue here needs a new entry it has a different cat# 8821482 and should be entered in line with this Supergrass CD Single from the same year.

Strange that the Australian version only has EMI on the label too but it is a Parlophone release nonetheless. In the mid nineties it was common practise for EMI to manufacture in Swindon and send all the components including the cover and unstamped glass around the world. Wherever they landed they were assembled and the Swindon glass was then stamped. This is covered in the fine print within the price box "place of manufacture as stated on label" but this is not really true as they were all manufactured in Swindon and just had the labels stamped in the country of distribution. In Australia the stamping also included altering the cat# to a single string of seven numerals. They are definitely Australian releases but only stamped and assembled here not manufactured as the inlay might infer.

(Correction sent, new entry created and linked below)

The Rolling Stones - The Singles 1971-2006 (45x45s)		This is international as it is ℗ 2011 Promotone B.V., under exclusive license to Universal International Music B.V. © 2011 Promotone B.V., under exclusive license to Universal International Music B.V. Although it states made in the EU on the CDs the purpose of Universal International Music B.V. is to manufacture distribute products worldwide.

The home page of this release on Discogs only lists two legitimate releases of this set one from the EU and one from Japan. The Japanese issue would have had to been made to navigate Japan's unique rights management situation. This EU produced set was made for the rest of the world that's why there are only the two releases on Discogs. I see Beggars Road and Sailorsam from the USA own a lot of these EU produced Universal International Music B.V. products and that's because these are readily available in the USA as well as everywhere else other than Japan. It was also (and still is in the shop down the road) available in Australia. These are not imports they are local releases just because a product is shipped to a different market doesn't change the fact that it was intended for that market and makes it a local release where ever it it sold.

We really need to come to grips with all products released under the Universal International Music B.V. banner.

Marc Cohn - Silver Thunderbird		Scans uploaded by Pomegranate so most likely an Australian release too! I won't even mention the consequences but will say that something needs to be done. The bang 'em in and they'll sort themselves out is producing many different individual methods of entering CDs on the site. I'm not going to comment on the validity of any of these just pointing out most contributing site users in this world use different methods to enter CDs. I myself have three separate methods that I use depending on the vagaries of the particular CD. The problem is that all of my three styles are equally valid and are all both correct and incorrect entries at the same time.

I have on the odd occasion been able to enter the same CD as either Australian, European or International and be technically right in every case. However, this doesn't sit well with me and I could do without the constant dilemmas that this area of the site has created. Yes, unfortunately we have created a monster. Urggghhhhh!
