The real world tends to throw up situations that don't exactly fit whatever guidelines this and other sites make, but in the interests of completeness and accuracy they should be documented. In the case of Nuggets with that UK catalogue number, it would appear that there's no actual UK pressing, or at least not one on Discogs, who would most likely say that the sticker does not make it a "unique release"; I don't agree with that, because in context it's a UK release with a valid UK catalogue number allocated by WEA and so should be documented. I would create a separate UK entry for it, showing K62012 as the primary catalogue number, and a note saying "US pressing with stickered UK catalogue number". I have done a similar thing with some US CDs imported into Australia by the local record company Festival (licensee for the record labels involved), who applied stickers showing their own catalogue numbers and barcodes.

So, the answer to Fokeman's question is: the label usually takes precedence, BUT there may be exceptions for particular contexts and situations, such as MCA's reissues or an overseas affiliate/licensee importing a release for local distribution.
