Presence or absence of mould SID enough to have separate releases?

[Freso]

@Kid_Devine

Presumably, once MBS-8393 is implemented this question will be answered, that is, we’ll either be able to enter a single mould SID per release or multiple.

Except that the odd release exists that has more than one mould SID, so even if we want to distinguish on this (and I think we should), we will still need multiple mould SIDs per release, even if 99.9% of releases with a mould SID will only have one.

This is essentially (a continuation of) the same discussion that’s been had earlier:

Alternate CD matrix/runout inscriptions: enough for a new release?

I’ve been wondering about this for years, but now it’s come to a head. Discogs will often have multiple versions of the same release with the only thing separating them being things like matrix/runout inscriptions. Recently I got ahold of a repressing of this album and it looks visually identical to the original 1997 version, only that the inner matrix on each disc has different inscriptions. Is this enough to qualify for a new release? I’ve already gone ahead and attached Disc IDs; if I have to…

I agree with @aerozol’s comment there:

@aerozol

If there’s a difference, and you have the time and inclination to create a separate release, with proper annotations/ disambigs, why not!
Some people might think it unnecessary for their useage scenario, but that’s not really a good enough reason not to have it imo.
