henge just released a new record that has 2 groves on the B side of the record. this gives the record 2 endigs that will be selected by default.
i was wondering houw to enter this in musicbrainz and if there are other records like this already in musicbrainz.
on discogs they work with a&b so the b-side has 2 tracks:
B1a The Powert Of The Atom (Winter Version)
B2a Nuclear Winter
B1b The Powert Of The Atom (Fusion Version)
B2b Nuclear Fusion
I’d probably go with B1#1, B1#2 only because B1a & B1b make it look like it does when you have a vinyl that has 2 recordings (titles) on 1 track or subparts on an indexed CD, etc.
Great point @tigerman325, it would be good to make these obviously different.
P.S. A friend has one of these, where the needle “randomly” picks a groove. Unfortunately the groove has worn over time so the same horse always wins (f horse racing though)
ah, a three-sided record. I’d heard of some old ones too, but I can’t put my finger on them (probably the Monty Python album, honestly). they’ve been around for quite some time, apparently over 120 years, according to Wikipedia
for clarity, each of the two grooves have a version of Power of the Atom followed by either Nuclear Winter or Nuclear Fusion? because how it’s listed on Discogs doesn’t really make sense to me… lol
numbering the sides A, B, and C could make sense too, as long as the annotation explains the multi-grooved nature of the release. it’d at least look a lot cleaner than B1#1
