Six-legged dog Eni sticker: new release or not?

I’ve got a release that might be https://musicbrainz.org/release/ae1a047c-a6b9-4f88-b832-f0df2f4f1067 / https://www.discogs.com/release/12726447-Verdi-Riccardo-Muti-Domingo-Freni-Zancanaro-Zajick-Plishka-La-Forza-Del-Destino- but it has this sticker on the top right corner of the back of the slipcase, saying “In collaboration with ENI Group”:

Eni - Wikipedia looks like the company it mentions. I don’t see anything about music there, but it looks like they’ve done a bunch of things in a bunch of fields, so maybe they were involved in music somehow too.

Does this sticker make it a different release or not? If it is a different release, I’m guessing the sticker info should just go in the disambiguation and annotation, since it’s too vague to know what relationship to add?

Eni has numerous petrol stations in Austria, but I don’t think they’re deeply involved in the music business - maybe sponsoring. :slight_smile:

However, I would not create a new release because of a sticker.

If everything else matches, I think, you can use the existing release. There is a disc ID that you can compare to that of your first CD, but this disc ID was added a long time ago and does not necessarily belong to this release. If your disc ID is different, use your disc ID to set track lengths from it.

Do I guess this is the kind of CD you could pile up cheap to sell at petrol stations?

That was my first thought, but it’s a classical 3-CD set and rather expensive. For that purpose, I would expect a single-CD hits compilation. :slight_smile:

Thanks, I couldn’t see any differences other than the sticker, so I added my disc IDs (the first one was the same) and fixed up the track list.

You can upload your sticker, there, with a comment saying some distributions get this sticker at this or that place of the back of front cover.

Good idea, done.

(And Discourse doesn’t like short posts, so here’s some extra irrelevant text, please ignore this.)
