RELEASES WITH SID (IFPI) CODES vs RELEASES WITHOUT SID (IFPI) CODES
> Releases with vs without SID IFPI Codes **ARE SEPARATE RELEASES**
• >>> Releases with same artwork (including copyright years)
• >>> + 2 very different pressing years stamped into the matrix
• >>> + no SID on either (or a SID on both)
• >>> = same release entry, with matrix variants entered (eg http://www.discogs.com/Operation-Ivy-Operation-Ivy/release/397020)
• >>> ...but as soon as there's a SID on one of the releases and not on another, then it's physical presence means they are 2 separate releases.

Some true words from mjb :
"What I just don't want to encourage, by fixing someone else's mistakes,
is that the guidelines are only there for those who want to follow them,
everyone else can just do what they want and count on everyone else to come fix their errors..."

RELEASES WITH SID (IFPI) CODES vs RELEASES WITHOUT SID (IFPI) CODES

• >>> Releases with same artwork (including copyright years)
• >>> + 2 very different pressing years stamped into the matrix
• >>> + no SID on either (or a SID on both)
• >>> = same release entry, with matrix variants entered (eg http://www.discogs.com/Operation-Ivy-Operation-Ivy/release/397020)
• >>> ...but as soon as there's a SID on one of the releases and not on another, then it's physical presence means they are 2 separate releases.

Some true words from mjb :
"What I just don't want to encourage, by fixing someone else's mistakes,
is that the guidelines are only there for those who want to follow them,
everyone else can just do what they want and count on everyone else to come fix their errors..."
