ISRC Mismatch?

MusicBrainz
1

I just did two merges of recordings that I personally own on multiple releases:

https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/72007775
https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/72009953

I noticed when entering the merges that some of them had an ISRC, so I figured I’d check those out for good measure. In both cases, when I searched for the ISRCs, no results were found. However, I could locate the recordings by artist and title, and they came up with different ISRCs.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I remove the ISRCs I couldn’t find? Here are the edits where the ISRCs were added:

Just because a search on soundexchange turns up nothing is not a good justification for removal by itself.

If you have no evidence the attached ISRCs are wrong then I would not worry about it.

Would be nice if the edits adding ISRCs had edit notes.

As long as there was good reason to add ISRC (it is set on some edition CD, it is in some ISRC official database), we can keep them all.

You can merge recordings when you know they are the same.

You can always ask the editors, details on their edits.
