Duplicate MOODY BLUES

The album THE MAGNIFICENT MOODIES is defined twice under different dates [both were added by ProgLucky, silly sausage ] - 1966 and 1988

Its original release was in 1966, so I guess that's the one that should be kept, but both have reviews, so over to you .....

BOTH entries refer to 19 tracks - the 1966 version has the extras as 'Additional Tracks' in the 'releases information' section. They may have been released by different companies, but they are editions of the same album.


Point Of Principle

You seem to be implying that every 'edition' of an album should have a separate entry in PA? If you are, then you will quadruple the number of database entries in short time. I myself could add several without even thinking too hard.

Many of the old albums on PA now have bonus tracks on them, but these are included against the original entry.

Surely, the principle is that an album is entered against its original release date & details, then any additions/changes such as new releases, different formats, bonus tracks (even a whole bonus CD in some cases now) noted in the section 'releases information'.

and ..... ?

But we still have 2 editions of this album listed, so presumably you don't agree that they are the same? Or ....?

I do not have the ability to move reviews, so I've asked one of the Admin. team to look at it.

Thanks Bob
