I would like some guidance about using the Release Label field.
The guideline I’ve been following is from How to Add a Release:
For labels, we follow imprints, not companies. This means you should look at the label logos, not the copyright statements.
Although it doesn’t state explicity that all imprints on a release should be added as Release Labels—without any other contradictory guidance—this is the way I’ve been interpreting it.
FWIW I think adding all the imprints has some advantages, to paraphrase @jesus2099’s points from the original post:
- It helps to disambiguate releases more than just using the one “main” imprint.
- It makes things simpler for editors. They don’t need to have any background knowledge about the labels (imprints and record companies) involved.
