Hmmm, looks like it. From the Discogs page: 'Both mixes are unindexed. Total times as per CD player: CD1: 67:46 / CD2: 73:54, whereas times as per cover are 59:17 and 73:58 respectively.'
alexanderino (IRC)
not sure how this can be solved
ScriptFanix (IRC)
Yes I have the original, single track per disc
ScriptFanix (IRC)
I didn't want to destroy somebody else's hard work but wanted to tag my rip anyway, so I ended up creating a new release under the same release group
ScriptFanix (IRC)
Not sure that's the best way to handle it though
alexanderino (IRC)
Possibly the best way to do it for now. If a solution is found later, the two can be merged
ScriptFanix (IRC)
Thanks for your input :)

how would i go about removing a release from an artist incorrectly attributed when there's literally no info about the actual artist/release
alexanderino (IRC)
link pls
Blastboom Strice
Have you tried asking the person who added it?
Blastboom Strice
Maybe by leaving a note at the edit when this release was added
alexanderino (IRC)
this link was provided in the comment when the release was added: https://open.spotify.com/album/1NoBNxD5duysEzj8nlAn2g
alexanderino (IRC)
here is the artist: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/d94f79b0-c690-4a60-9a45-a37a11b78051
puppeht
that is not the correct artist
alexanderino (IRC)
then who is?
alexanderino (IRC)
ah, it's this one: https://open.spotify.com/artist/10N2gbz6RuAKCC2YnV4Sqw
puppeht
i don't think they're on musicbrainz yet
alexanderino (IRC)
do you have any extra info about Jem outside Spotify?
puppeht
no
alexanderino (IRC)
Qobuz attributes the same Jem Griffiths: https://static-www.qobuz.com/ca-en/interpreter/jem/251387 from https://static-www.qobuz.com/ca-en/album/a-tribute-to-george-harrison-jem/hy7suxie5qfvb
puppeht
qobuz also lists a bajillion other albums that are definitely not Jem (welsh singer-songwriter) to her
alexanderino (IRC)
here are the results for "Jem" (artist). None of the 9 exact matches seem to be this band: https://musicbrainz.org/search?query="Jem"&type=artist&method=indexed
alexanderino (IRC)
or artist
alexanderino (IRC)
here is Tidal's profile: https://tidal.com/artist/30074530
alexanderino (IRC)
i searched for the first two releases on Musicbrainz; no trace of them. So yeah, a new artist entry will need to be created for this Jem
alexanderino (IRC)
but I can't find any info about them
alexanderino (IRC)
once the artist entry is created, edit the release to update it
puppeht
yep
puppeht
frustrating when people add releases without checking if it's the proper artist
alexanderino (IRC)
it is what it is. Most people make mistakes as they figure out how Musicbrainz works -- the system is complex (but makes sense)

got two quick questions: I'm always wary of 'dummy' YEAR-01-01 release dates online, but if the web platform release shows e.g. 2010-07-01 and it's definitely from 2010, I can probably trust that 01 day is correct, right?
zoe.division
secondly.... I think I've already answered my own question in my head 🙃 but if a track has to be edited between platforms (ie self-release vs streaming) to remove a sample or two due to licensing, but it's otherwise the same, those are still going to be separate recordings ye?

I found this app f-droid. It lets you browse MBcs database and it's essentially the same thing as the official app but with more metadata shown
Blastboom Strice
Seems possible to release it that time, the 1st of the month is probably a good time
Blastboom Strice
(Maybe check on genius)

reacted 😮 to message
zoe.division
wow, do apostrophes always get mangled into HTML entities in the bridge like that? 😬
Blastboom Strice
?
zoe.division
the quoted reply I got on my end in Discord, replaced all my apostrophes with &#x27:
Blastboom Strice
Oh
Cheezmo (IRC)
2010-07-01 was a Thursday. Most releases back then were Tuesday I believe switched to Fridays at some point. So I would say the day is suspect but hard to say.
Cheezmo (IRC)
Tuesdays up until 2015 (Mondays in the UK). Fridays since then.

Well, it was an indie release, so I'm not sure if the official new music Tuesday thing applied! 🙂 but it's worth considering.

reosarevok: You asked for advice about the alto violin a few weeks ago. Reminder: It is still unchanged and there is no ticket for it.
reosarevok
Thanks!
reosarevok
I had indeed forgotten entirely about it, dunno about ApeKattQuest (IRC) :)
reosarevok
I'll make a ticket in case
