I’ve found a pair of releases that need to merge, but before I discovered the second release, I made some edits to what will be the target in the merge. One edit is a correction where an incorrect artist (same name) was credited on a track.
The release I want to merge is this. The album is one of a series that was published by a local radio station, as a fundraiser for the local food bank. There was only ever one release of each album.
could i have some people look at this https://musicbrainz.org/edit/85950201? it is my understanding that early access (from subscription services such as Patreon & Bandcamp, and from newsletters) should be promo releases. i dont really understand the proposal of putting this early access information in a release annotation, since that is essentially just explaining a different release as text, instead of having it as its own release
It seems that this CD edition has gotten the track order of the LP edition, by mistake.
I would like to move tracks because correct AcoustID are attached, it’s just that track order is not aligned with disc ID, it’s the LP order instead of the usual CD order.
Other editions
It’s a recording session of Rod Stewart and Steampacket, that is usually seen always in the same order, except the release I would like to fix.
Just a reminder: if you want to ask questions about a style guideline or established best/common practice related to an edit, make a new topic. This topic is not for discussions.
If you have questions about an edit, ask in the edit notes of the edit.
If you think there’s something odd going on with a specific entity, make a dedicated topic to exploring it.
If you have one or more edits that you would like some votes or eyes on to make it pass quicker or because you’re not sure about it? By all means link it here – and keep discussion in the edit(s). Or another, dedicated topic.
There’s an artist correction and a merge here, not sure if the merge will fail but in any case the artist correction should be first: Edits for These Pretty Things - MusicBrainz
You guys work quick! Thanks for all of the votes, and especially to @kellnerd for the advice on edit conflicts (I’ve just fixed the issue). I’ll try to pay it forward
