Is there a way to copy and edit an entry for a vinyl album? I found a UK version but I have a US version on a different record label. The tracks are the same. I don't want to have to retype everything if I can just copy the entry and edit it and save a new copy.

That's not possible at the moment, but it's on our TODO list!

In the meantime there are some shortcuts you can use. Open two windows - have the existing entry open in one and the new one in another, then you can copy and paste each bit of text over. Not perfect but a definite time saver.

Note - please check for minor differences along the way, such as different spellings, slightly different titles, credits etc.

Also it's a good way of picking up errors in original entry than you can use the Make A Correction to let the Mods know.

A trick I use is to type in the info for the album and then 'Duplicate Tab' change the cat# number / release date for your other copy and then submit both. If your countries are different then just raise a correction to the mods.

Is duplication possible yet? Or still on the to do list?
e.g the Sandy Denny Hannibal Box UK set was also issued on Island Records and needs adding with new scans (I could add these, but duplicating the entry on the different label is laborious).
