nooo, in discogs you *generally* list the label's country, not manufacturer - they aren't always one and the same. infact often not (most european cds are made in austria i believe, and most european vinyls are made in the old eastern block countries). but yes, *generally* the label's country will be the same as the country it distrubutes to (i mean, the circumstances that would mean this wasn't the case tend to be quite obscure). so yeah, generally if you know a release was put out by "Super Records UK" (or as in this example - Warp, a UK label) then it will most probably be a UK release - at least initially. there may also be distribution to other areas (eg, i would have though Warp distrubutes to the US? and at least *part* of europe?) and this is why labels are complicated :) _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
