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.
