I would also have interpreted the / as a separator (which I now see, it isn't - in this case). It is in fact a separator, as one will note that not all CD's (on these labels) have "/" followed by another number and once again, the bar code quite often includes the number and the 2nd number is NOT included. Call it the way you want, they are two separate numbers with the 2nd number being a variation of the foreign number used. One problem in here and Discogs is that you don't have a true expert (from the label) to set the record straight, so leave it in the end to a moderator to end this. ... it's one number to all of you, OK - cased closed :-) As for the CBS situation, 2 different CBS's are being entered together (the early Columbia U.S. market CD's produced in Japan by CBS/Sony AND the Latin music releases) and the bar codes clearly are showing this. Take note of something jamieeduardo, in Vinyl Albums, releases were submitted as Discos CBS International as it clearly shows those letters (logo) across the top and with a CBS logo, yet once the release was put on CD, it's only "CBS" even though the bottom clearly states "Manufactured by Discos CBS International" Realizing that "Discos" is prohibited as is "Records", the CD releases should be submitted as "CBS International" and not "CBS", but whatever.. again it's a moderators call in the end, use "CBS", cased closed :-) I will make one point, someone else may eventually input on this further (better proof) and as more releases get submitted, it will be the moderators who will have to make all the changes. Then I'll have the last laugh. Edited by GEMSMFAN on 25th Jun 2014, 5:16 AM
