Quote (from the Mod Forums): "The issue to do with "International" and "Europe" has raised another problem. When doing a specific search the "Filter" has a Country option. I want to find a release in Australia, I would choose "Australia" or failing a result then select "International". I would not use "Europe". For example this was initially entered as Europe, then a confirmed Australian release came along bringing the entry to "International" and edited accordingly. Some time later it was changed back to "Europe". Should we then be using the release country for all countries that are not Europe and ignore International altogether? Australia is not a part of Europe and official Australian releases should not be listed as Europe." End Quote. There was no response to this so I re-entered it under Australia and linked the releases. Personally I feel "International" should be dropped and the country of official release be used. For Australian releases, as listed in Platterlog, should be entered as Australia (Country) regardless of where they were manufactured. The listings in Platterlog Imports would be entered under that labels country. For example The String-A-Longs on the Ace label was imported and distributed in Australia by Shock under license, and correctly entered as UK. We still have some official Australian releases that have been edited from "International" to "Europe". These need to be re-entered as Australia where we have the official release date and other relevant Australian details. PhilMH's preference would be the way to go to resolve the "International"/"Europe" problem. Edited by The_Vinyl_Junkie on 21st Jul 2019, 2:37 AM
