There is nothing to suggest it is a Dutch only release and as it has an international catalogue number it seems reasonable that it is certainly pan-European if not International. It seems highly unlikely this would have been an issue specific to Holland. So, CD singles are only Europe and UK! Why UK?! UK was not Europe? So, the CD singles are only Europe, even the BIEM is SACEM, SDRM, SGDL, SACD, SABAM, SIAE, MCPS??? We even dont't need the list with the European countries! Please don't change the country when I upload a CD single, I have enough experience with this! Nearly all of their CD singles, including the UK ones, are showing BIEM / STEMRA. In the case of CDs this does not automatically make them Dutch. I suspect in actual fact that most of the UK releases for this band are also likely to be "Europe" although it does seem there is a distinction between those with an INT catalogue number and those without. I don't believe the CD I changed (which I did in good faith and fully within my role as a long standing Moderator) is a Dutch-only release - if there is some evidence outside of the role of the rights society notification then we can of course change it but at the moment I am not seeing anything to suggest it is wrong. The registration of rights seems to be a lot less transparent in the CD era. You will note nearly all of this group's releases refer to BIEM/STEMRA, by the way.
