They should have the premise of separate entry. Otherwise in general there's only going to be about 3 territories - USA, UK and EU, which is not a true reflection of the industry. I lived/worked in Asia for 10 years and could buy CDs made from all over the world, including Australian bootlegs bought in Jakarta and Singapore, so I really hear what your saying, yet can't completely agree. However, I do harbour some reservations that any mortal can just bound in and post up misinformation, giving almost zero credibility to the facts at hand with very poorly entered Cat nos - some fail to type in exactly what is in front of them - particularly when these entries form the basis of any further entries to that particular title. Other cases of failure to recognise the 'primary' label of a release - where we may as well list almost everything, therefore, under Sony Universal and be done with it. Without getting too fascist about it - how about a trial test for newbies, say a 20 entry trial list, where a Mod can have a good recky at their 'work' and make a judgement call for any future solo entry making. Just as any manager would do in the work place before letting his trainee off the leash to reek havoc. But hey, I'm just a hard-boiled Scotsman, former international hotelier of 30 years experience - what do I know about liberalism?
