Looks like you are probably right.

As well as your research, I look at the list of Releases and check the patterns of the catalogue numbers. And they do seem to fit. (Made me laugh seeing MMOZ used for the Australian releases)

The only ones I’d be doing extra checks on are those South African items. There is not much data on those. I’ll have a look a bit closer another day… but now I need to cook dinner.

what does MMOZ mean?

A guess by an uncouth Australian yahoo:

OZ sounds pretty much like the AUS in “Australia”.
And is used by uncouth Australian yahoos to refer to Australia.
So MMOZ is an abbreviation for “Maranatha! Music Australia”.

@st3v3p you realise the coming weeks that these conversations will get “interesting”. :grin: Battle on! You’ve won the toss and in to bat… And Warner is OUT!!

Yeah, I’m round the other side of the planet in England. And we call you Aussies or “From OZ”.

Marantha Music uses MM for the USA. So MMOZ was a natural extension.

@IvanDobsky I did notice there is a slit difference with Maranatha! Music and Maranatha! on the albums the logs are a tiny bit different one has music the other douse not. other then that they are the same and i can find no were on the web a mention of there being 2 and Maranatha! Music and Maranatha! are both used when talking about Maranatha! Music. do you think it is safe to merge?

Yes, I do believe they are safe to merge. I think the reason that one of them only says “Maranatha!” is because that is what someone saw on the back of a disc and just typed it in like that.

I think we should merge Maranatha! into “Maranatha! Music”. That makes sense. :slight_smile:

Post a link to the edit here in the thread. I’m going to do so reading after making a coffee. Aiming to check up on those South Africa releases, and who are The Corinthian Group, Inc as mentioned in the Disambiguration.

And this can be handy! https://www.bsnpubs.com/word/maranatha/maranatha.html

I have put in two edits to move the two South African releases over to the South African Marantha!
https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/62985958
https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/62985961

Other releases from those artists are listed there. Cat Number also fits.

Moving them also makes the rest of the releases on label a neater fit.
