[mb-style] Changed track names on subsequent releases
I'd like to know what the correct handling of multiple releases of the same song with different (misspelled?) names. The edits in question are: http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=14061231 http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=14058965 The issue involves the song Zyclone B Bath House by NOFX. It was originally released on Fat Club with the title spelled this way. The song was then re-released on a NOFX compilation, 45 or 46 Songs That Weren't Good Enough to Go on Our Other Records, with the title spelled Zyclone B Bathouse (http://www.nofxwiki.net/w/Image:22S_B-ASideCU.jpg). The song was again re-released on a Fat Wreck Chords compilation, Wrecktrospective, with the title spelled Zyklone B Bathouse. What is the correct way to handle this? Should all the track names be consistent using the spelling as it was first released, or should each release use the spelling exactly as it appears on that release? ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style

Currently, we tend to do the former. With NGS almost here, though, I'd opt for the latter: keep them all as in the cover, and maybe leave an annotation to standardize them later at the recording level, which is the way it will be done in NGS. ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style -- Nicolás Tamargo de Eguren ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
