Instrumental Music STYLE like James Last / Esquivel / Delgado can be added under checking HIP HOP then choosing Instrumental... Weird but True

Columbia House:
please add Columbia House as a company, with the applicable company role as mentioned on the release (usually this would be Manufactured By, Distributed By and/or Licensed To) and enter its unique cat# in the associated field. The "Club Edition" tag should be added to the Format of Columbia House releases.
