I found this release with very little info in MB. It was added to MB way back in 2002:  
[Release “Down Memory Trail With the Sons of the Pioneers” by Sons of the Pioneers - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/release/f5e5dde9-a310-4f1f-b83b-78d0bf86bd12)

I found a release on Discogs, a 4-disc compilation.  
[Release “Down Memory Trail With the Sons of the Pioneers” by Sons of the Pioneers - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/release/20dff2c2-bde3-4e26-abc6-79f63a5e6d6d)

Disc 4 of this compilation is a perfect match for the track list of the “(disc 4)” release above.

I have been unable to find individual entries for the other 3 discs in the set, so I thought I could import the set from Discogs, then merge the incomplete disc with the 4th medium in the set. But, I found out that merge doesn’t work that way. So, should I just enter an edit to remove the incomplete release? There’s very little info in it beyond the track list.

Not obvious, but can be done: See the last example here: [How to Merge Releases - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/doc/How_to_Merge_Releases) for merging a stray disc into a multi-disc release

A-ha, got it. Thanks.

Merge is done. Wouldn’t mind some eyes. 🙂
