	gregs45s SUBS Member since Apr 2012 7614 Points	Continued... I first suggested using multiple flag indicators a few years back,to no avail. I suggested using flag indicators for countries of release as well as countries of manufacture,something like this... "Countries issued in"-----------"Countries manufactured in" [flag]-----------------------------------Disc - [flag] [flag]-----------------------------------Artwork - [flag] (the flags showing the country of manufacture would not be shown in the thumbnail to avoid confusion,but somewhere on the entry's page instead) Bear in mind,that multiple flags would not be the norm,one flag would be needed (country of issue) for an estimated 90% of releases.When an occasion where the same Cat.No./barcode/label has been released in two or more countries,then additional flags would be used.i would suggest that the first (top) flag be the earliest release (where known). The reason for the "Country Made In" option,is,that when people are entering a Disc,this information can be read off the Disc/artwork,and so,is something that everyone can do,whereas deciding/looking for indicators as to where a CD was released is not so easy,and would suggest a message was put on the first counties page,saying something like... "Determining the county of release for CD's can be complicated,and,if unsure,enter "Unknown Country" now and Moderators/members can add the countries of release at a later date." (I am convinced that many people get stumped at the first countries option page,and,often,don't want to be embarrassed by using the "Unknown Country" option,at least if it was explained,and the fact that they can enter the country of manufacture with some confidence would help.).
