I think Jasper's post probably is along the right lines.

The country option is the front end, and if you are uncertain, you just won't enter the CD, being unable to get past this to the other info entry without making a mistake that some may feel unwilling to make...

One of the quirks of the format I suppose, that unlike vinyl, the country (as seems to be the general feeling) should be an "Enter it if you know it" deal, and somebody at some other time can enter such info when the info becomes available or certain (to a degree).

Maybe it is more helpful then to have the lead entry page as cat# or barcode (although early CDs exist without barcodes).

Or just have as greg says, a little blue text on the country page saying that if you are not certain, hit unknown first.

Ultimately though, I think the picture will emerge that CD entries as a whole will describe the process of conglomeration of the music industry as all it's parts gradually got sucked into the Sony/Universal Vortex... and you'd be able to chart this progress by looking at the CDs of a given time entered.
