 | Orbiting Cat Member since Jan 2008 1191 Points Administrator | We've made some changes to how CD Albums work. Thanks for the feedback we received about this. Artist discographies are now shown as a flat list. They are no longer divided up by country. Barcode/UPC numbers are shown for each CD. CD Album World is more product-based than other worlds, so normally there will be just a single entry for each barcode. When adding CDs, the first options shown are International and Europe, as many CDs will fit into those categories. "International" just means that it was released in more than 1 country. It doesn't mean that it was released worldwide. So it's a very flexible choice. Bootleg CDs are placed at the end of the discography. The "International" flag has been changed to make it more distinct. There is no standard for a world/global/international flag, especially one that fits into 16x11 pixels, so any suggestions regarding that are welcome!

| thatsunday Member since Jun 2009 14907 Points Moderator | These might have the same barcode, but should be treated as different pressings for different markets / countries / territories. After all the barcode is only one part of the artwork. With international companies it seems possible that you can have the same barcode for a worldwide release, but different artwork, pressings or even releasing labels. I'm surprised to see the US Beatles CD entered on Parlophone. I always thought the Beatles were on Capitol? |

| fixbutte Member since Jan 2013 1484 Points Moderator | That's the point. They are all on Parlophone, have the same cat#s, and only slight differences on the back covers, and of course on the discs (like the European issues). There may be small differences on some front covers though, e.g. I noticed different colored letterings on the Rubber Soul title, and some UK covers seem to have an additional EMI where the US covers haven't. Everything else (including the release days) seems to be the same. |

| fixbutte Member since Jan 2013 1484 Points Moderator | Anyway the "UK" issues were pressed in different countries (e.g. Holland, Austria), and there is even a "US" issue of Sgt. Pepper on Discogs with the slipcase "Printed in U.S.A." and the CD "Made in W. Germany". Edited by fixbutte on 9th Apr 2014, 5:00 PM |

 | TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | Could the international flag be plain white (with an outline of course, to make it visible on the white background)? It has the meaning of there being no flag/nation, and is completely neutral. Also has peaceful overtones, which I guess is a positive way to represent international matters. Either that, or a football. Edited by TopPopper on 9th Apr 2014, 10:37 PM |

| fixbutte Member since Jan 2013 1484 Points Moderator | I like the current all blue flag, which may be a symbol for our blue planet. |

| Orbiting Cat Member since Jan 2008 1191 Points Administrator | Is the UN a political organisation? Was trying to avoid that. Wait, I checked, almost every country is in the UN, so no problems there. Here is what the flag looks like rendered at 16x11 pixels: http://www.territorioapuestas.com/upload/flags/wo.png It's almost identifiable, but also looks like a planet at that small size. So I think this seems a good choice? |

| JPGR&B SUBS My aim - to add all my collections on 45worlds. Member since May 2009 4565 Points Moderator | Looks like I'm going to be spending the weekend in moderator mode amending The Beatles UK 1987 and 2009 releases of the main catalogue to International. Glad it is all in a flat structure and we can see all the releases together. Edited by JPGR&B on 10th Apr 2014, 5:13 PM |

| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | The UN has perpetrated countless crimes against humanity. The Oil for Food sanction on the Iraqi population alone caused the death of at least 100,000 children and was even described in the US Congress as an act of "infanticide masquerading as policy". This isn't something we should be blind to. If we're going to have an international symbol, at least let's have one which is neutral. |

| Orbiting Cat Member since Jan 2008 1191 Points Administrator | yeah that's what I thought would happen |

| JPGR&B SUBS My aim - to add all my collections on 45worlds. Member since May 2009 4565 Points Moderator | Hmm, I see what you mean. How about a white dove on a blue background. The dove is now seen as the international symbol for peace. |
| 10th Apr 2014, 6:07 PM | #19 REPORT | |
| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | I don't mind that. It doesn't have to be a peace symbol I don't think, just something neutral. A rainbow flag maybe, or I suggested a plain white flag. Or how about something like the olympic rings, symbolising all the continents? |
