Cover or arrangement when there are multiple versions of a recording?

For a few days there weren’t any new replies, so I assume it’s settled.

  • When to use work
    • When there are [new or different] lyrics and lyricist is credited
    • When there are multiple recordings of a track
  • When to use cover recording
    • When there are no lyrics and there is only 1 recording
      Arranger relationship goes to a recording.

With this in mind, I will edit the release I already edited and edit remaining ones.
Again, thanks everyone for the answers.

I come back here with another question.
I started editing TOHO COMPLETE BOX. It’s a compilation of most of the band’s previous tracks.

The credits are slightly different for the tracks though.
At some point West Village started getting credited as Dougen Kubota.
That’s the same person.
Now, I wanted to merge old recordings with the ones from TOHO COMPLETE BOX, but would that mean I need to add Dougen Kubota to the recordings relationships where there’s already West Village, or should those recordings be separate?
