There are a number of concerns here and it seems I'm not the only one that is having difficulty with EU made Parlophone reissues. Discogs for instance has three separate entries for the 2014 reissue of Syd Barrett's Barrett one on Parlophone one on Harvest and is the EU issue indeed the USA issue making it International. These listings are of course all the very same EU made copy the album and all of the linked entries are technically correct in one way or another. More of a problem is that all of the modern EU made Parlophone (+ boutique label) are distributed to the USA and Canada and sold as local copies in both markets. I have several of these and used to list them as EU releases for ease of entry and avoiding listing them as international and having to defend my decision. However, we are in danger of having a slew of multiple entries like Discogs has unless we agree to a method of listing these. As I see it we have several options and I'll use the linked issue of Barrett as an example we can list them as: 1. EU (Country) Harvest (Label) 2. EU (Country) Parlophone (Label) 3. EU (Country) Harvest / Parlophone (Label) 4. International (Country) Harvest (Label) 5. International (Country) Parlophone (Label) or 6. International (Country) Harvest / Parlophone (Label) My feeling is that option 4. International (Country) Harvest (Label) is probably the most factually correct option but it doesn't sit well with me at the moment. So I'm torn between that option and number 1. EU (Country) Harvest (Label). This is mainly because I don't like site users having to make decisions based on information that is not on the article at hand ie. international release information. It is also important to note that this applies to ALL recent Parlophone reissues and not just the one album I'm using as an example here. Any ideas?
