Probably best if we had them both on the same page even if the international versions are listed as UK issues. There could be a need for having the facility to list multiple barcodes at the entry stage in cases such as this and we do do it some other cases such as this. but it would be nice to be able to do it without having to send a correction to the notes. I'm fully aware Mojo and Uncut are UK magazines however they have not taken a consistent global approach to production and distribution and both magazines have at various times been published globally with the same barcode as the UK issue. This however is not always the case and both have both magazines sometimes have two distinctly different copies produced one for the UK and one for the rest of the world that have different barcodes and sometimes different covers. I had a few of these lying around that I entered before they went to the tip but my problems arose when the data (barcodes) on the 45Worlds entry didn't match my edition of the magazines. It's not of much consequence really in the scheme of things but it is a real problem in terms of the fact that the data doesn't match in a lot of cases. All I know is that there are inconsistencies here on the publishing side of things. Apologies for appearing to be being not "helpful". That has never been my intention but these are genuine problems I have come up against when listing these magazines. Edited by Lee Wrecker on 7th Nov 2017, 11:02 PM
