Hi,  
I have added these releases to MB, but these releases are already out of distribution.  
[https://musicbrainz.org/release/ddf988c4-902b-43fd-9c4b-6eec22a90a00](https://musicbrainz.org/release/ddf988c4-902b-43fd-9c4b-6eec22a90a00)

Is there any way to find the ISRC for the Recording included in these releases?

It is possible for Spotify releases because they are just unlisted instead of being deleted. For Apple Music you might be out of luck unless you can find the data in [old dumps](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/itunes-upc-database/459687), but I haven’t tried that myself.

For releases from 2019 on that data dump is really handy on short lived releases.

Update: I don’t think it has ISRCs, though. Just barcodes.
