Regal and Regal Zonophone occasionally have the same records released under their respective labels. I have seen 2 ways of dealing with this duplication and want to confirm which is correct so that we can be consistent:-
Method A: Cat# MR479 (UK) has 2 entries in the database, one attributed to Regal and one to Regal Zonophone, with their respective label images.
Method B: Cat# MR721 (UK) has 1 entry in the database attributed to Regal with both sets of labels.
I am assuming that Method A is correct/preferred so there should be 2 entries for MR721, and therefor a Regal Zonophone entry needs to be added using a duplicate of the current Regal entry, with the Regal Zonophone label images.
I don't have a Regal Zonophone version of MR721 so I can't create a new entry for it. But I do have the Regal version of MR721...
If the current MR721 entry could be changed by the moderators from Regal to Regal Zonophone then I could create a new entry for the Regal version with the Regal label images.
(We would also need to remove the Regal label images from the amended Regal Zonophone entry). Is this a possible solution?

Regal and Regal Zonophone should have separate entries what happened on this occasion it was added as Regal by a member who couldn't add a scan another member has compared the Cat. No.s and mistakenly added the Regal Zonophone label scans.
These things happen I believe my fellow Mod. is going to make a Regal Zonophone entry and move the incorrect scans or if not I will do it later.
Thanks Redpunk, that was also the message I got from Mike Gann. I believe he is creating a new Regal Zonophone entry and moving the images across, leaving the Regal entry with my Regal label images. So nothing more for me to do!

It's me who added the scans to the Regal entry after acquiring a stash of assorted yodelling records and putting them on without due care and consideration. I consider my wrist slapped!
