	Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3774 Points Moderator	Even seasoned Catters are fearful of entering CDs because of the obscurity of the place of production / place of release relationship. ...Discogs presents these details as if it is a settled fact, when in fact there is no hard and fast logic with them, and none that would apply to all CDs, and even individual titles. You have to rely on the wisdom of the community with them to a large extent, because even the mods cannot know the answers to the rapid corporate changes and market forces which actually determined these things from the nineties onward... so there are no experts when it comes to CDs (even those that made them might not know much!). But I feel that's what this site is really for, when it comes to CDs especially: "Presenting" a CDin an entry, and allowing others to hammer out the details with whatever snippets of info they can add, so that ultimately, this site will become the reference for them. But there's a lot of work to do before all is known, so when entering CDs, you've just got to bite the bullet, enter it as best you can, then let others, in time, straighten or amend them. --This does mean not allowing the CDs to wind you up, or bother you too much in terms of any nagging doubts you have... bang 'em in, and let 'em go! :) --
