Hi all
Can some please help me with this Icon Series. It has got two discogs urls and I cant figure out to wich discgoslink it should be linked?
[https://www.discogs.com/release/9932453-Various-70s-FM-Rock-Anthems](https://www.discogs.com/release/9932453-Various-70s-FM-Rock-Anthems) See this release.
The same for this series: [https://www.discogs.com/release/1780056-Various-70s-Gold?redirected=true](https://www.discogs.com/release/1780056-Various-70s-Gold?redirected=true)
The same for this series and this one even has 3 discogs links: [https://www.discogs.com/release/5156578-Various-The-Best-Of-Hard-Rock?redirected=true](https://www.discogs.com/release/5156578-Various-The-Best-Of-Hard-Rock?redirected=true)
I hope you understand what I mean.

Whats the problem there?
One has 158 releases the other one 2. The small one should obviously be merged into larger one.

It’s explained in the **release** series comment:
> _use this for reissues whose originals were not part of the ~~main~~ series_
(I would remove that ~~_main_~~ word from it, I don’t understand it)
In doubt, I would use this (smaller) **release** series. Because maybe the same tracklist exists outside of the ICON series.
If it’s not your case, if this tracklist was created for ICON and you think it will never exist outside ICON, use the (big) **release group** series.
Remember to have a look at series types.
Usually, for compilations kind of series, **release** series are better.
But I don’t know ICON.
I would change the comment to:
> reissues [whose](https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/whose-used-for-inanimate-objects) originals were not part of the series
* * *
- [ICON **release** series](https://musicbrainz.org/series/f92bc149-d65d-48ea-9ea8-2974bff33df8) (reissues whose originals were not part of the series)
- [ICON **release group** series](https://musicbrainz.org/series/2f1bbd79-7feb-47d9-9167-7e3aa7e14c70)

Jesus and Maj: Sorry, but I don’t understand any of this. It’s so confusing. My English isn’t good enough for this. That’s why I asked which link I should remove.
