Take for example the “Born to Run” single by Bruce Springsteen, release group Born to Run
There exist different B-sides for this single
1975:
Born To Run (mono) / Born to Run (stereo)
Born To Run / Meeting Across The River (different releases from different countries)
Born To Run / Backstreets (Japan only)
1976:
Born To Run / Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out (different releases from different countries)
Born To Run / Spirit In The Night (different releases from different countries)
1979:
Born To Run / Meeting Across The River (reissue)
Born To Run / Badlands (Japan only)
Some of these releases include just the A-side name on the cover, some A and B side names (usually when they have a real cover).
Some come in a die-cut CBS company sleeve.
Questions:
-
Should all of these releases go in just one release group ?
-> The release group name should probably be “Born to Run” -
Should the all have their own separate release group ?
-> The release group names should probably be "Born to Run / " -
What about release naming inside the release group(s) ?
a. Releases with a die-cut CBS company sleeve probably " / " (This question is actually very generic)
b. Releases with both A and B side names on the cover: " / " or just “”
Notice that the above mentioned release group link doesn’t include all these variants yet. I just want to clarify before entering additional data.
