This edit is associating all the tracks on Disc 3 to New recordings. I need that edit to complete so I can then update all those new recordings and set them correctly as “video” as this is a DVD and not a CD.
(I had assumed that a “recording” would ignore the video flag. Technically both the CD and DVD have come from the same source tape. They went back to that 18 year old tape reel to re-record this. So I’ll find some way to link video and audio to each other)

I know there are other issues with the release. I am fixing a release someone else added incorrectly as a unique RG. So there are already 20+ other edits in 7 day limbo to correct that title, merge the RGs, fix apostrophe’s, etc. So before diving in and fixing everything else please check where I have got to.
I am working from the CD package in my hand. 2 CDs and 1 DVD. Already added a pile of artwork to help get the credits correct.
I am also correcting other mistakes made in the original upload. For example - all those (Live at Brixton Academy) ETIs will be removed.
Extra details:
This is a 25th Anniversary version of the original album on CD1.
On CD2 is a live gig from Brixton Academy. This has been released before as ( Levelling the Land Live ), but this new version is is fresh from the original tape reels again… and that means a few extra tracks.
Hi!
I’m trying to add the works for https://musicbrainz.org/release/dc4eec19-f66f-4219-a045-b3c534c3a360 but for that I would need to wait that the track title changes I submitted are accepted (unless I want to fill in the track titles by hand), would it be possible to speed it up?
Could I get some more eyes/opinions on this edit https://musicbrainz.org/edit/59598586
If @CyberSkull has the right idea it would be good to have a proper precedent set so we can be consistent across the board
I think the merge makes a lot of sense, but it could be controversial, so I’d like to get counter arguments now and not angry comments after the merge is applied and only a few people saw it.
An iTunes release got removed and updated with a previously missing track under a new id. Old id is gone. But there’s some other old id which redirects to said new id.
Can I have some help here, please? For now it looks like the editor who downvoted is not coming back with an answer.
As for the edit, I provided multiple links in the comments to prove my point. This artist is consistently stylised as ‘K Á R Y Y N’ and the only places where it’s written without spaces are e-stores or other third parties. The cover art for CD also has her name spaced out.
edit: In all honesty I think that not only this release group, but all of her credits should be spaced out, leaving ‘KÁRYYN’ only as the sort name.
Anybody care to vote on the edits to make this artist go away? When I saw it was the only one of 9 artists that didn’t have a disambiguation, and that all the tracks were on compilation/dj albums, my gut said something was fishy. Sure enough, I traced the three compilation tracks to three OTHER artists that already exist in the database.
Similarly, this release doesn’t actually exist (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC_Hawking#Fictional_discography). I’ve entered edits to merge the recordings into actually released (or in a few cases standalone) recordings before the release itself is removed.
This has developed into an interesting discussion of what to do with the fake “releases” that were created to go along with the Greatest Hits album, if anyone else has input:
Wasn’t sure if I should necropost in one of the gdpr tagged threads or create a new topic but it’s still voting related.
An editor has added an artist with exact birthday and now wants to remove this date.
Apparently it’s the artist herself. So far I couldn’t find any other public source for that date. Her user profile on MB displays her age though. Should we let this slip through? Edit #60854225 Edit #60854264 (dupe)
Similar case
A few days ago there was an editor who acted on behalf of the artist and wanted to remove the birth date after adding it in the first place.
I voted no and referred them to https://metabrainz.org/contact
Kinda regret it now.
