Maybe I misunderstood, but when @ernstlx wrote “It should be”, I thought you were saying that two CD-Rs with different matrix codes should be separate releases. That seems excessive to me.
Smithsonian Folkways is another example of burn-on-demand CD-Rs. (When they acquired the Folkways Records catalog, it was with the stipulation that they continued Moe Asch’s policy of keeping every release in print.) I just checked one of those CD-Rs that I have handy and I can’t see any matrix information at all.

to me too, but I think theoretically they could be seperate releases if an editor wants to go into that much detail (i.e. including manufacturing details for a CD-R release)

I’m sorry for causing confusion. No, I fully agree with the cited text. It’s not common and raw CD-Rs from different suppliers should not be different releases (of course, if nothing else has changed).
I would not merge them, but I would not create separate releases.

That’s an interesting side note - I knew the print on demand services, but I haven’t heard of the burn on demand service before.
It looks like it was shut down a few years ago: Yahoo on osa Yahoon tuotemerkkejä.
