Hi. I’m relatively new here and I’m going to be editing my first musical. I’ve read the musical styleguide but I need to clean up as well as add to the CD release of Leader of the Pack.
I just added images of the back cover as well as the booklet so hopefully someone can check my work as I do this and make sure I do it properly.
The number of tracks isn’t correct. Also, these are all original recordings so most of the track level relationships aren’t correct either. But to start, can someone tell me if the album artist credit is correct? Right now it’s listed as only Ellie Greenwich and I don’t know if that is right.
After all of the data is entered and correct, I’ll add the Disc ID, Track AcoustIDs and CD ISRCs from Picard.

Hi, welcome to Musicbrainz! I see you’ve added the booklet twice, once as a full page scan and another as two different page. You actually don’t need to do that, the first picture is fine. But you can scan the other side of it and upload it. As of the release artist, I’m not familiar with the musical but since Ellie Greenwich is credited on the front page, it’s probably fine. The guidelines do dictate however that the writers be credited as the release artists – is she the writer? Lastly, if the number of tracks isn’t correct, could that mean that isn’t the same release with the one that you have? If so, the images you’ve uploaded would need to be deleted and you’d need to create a new release.

Thanks for replying! I thought about this possibility. However, I noticed that the barcode, year and catalog number are the same. So I figured it was probably just an error in the original entry since the only tracks that were left off were all called “Dialogue” and not actual songs, save one track.
Do you think that’s a reasonable take or do you think I should have just made a new one? I guess I don’t know which side it’s best to err on?

She is a writer but not the only one. Thanks for this tip! I’ll go back and update this entry so it is accurate.
