Searched the internet for record labels from Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia & Egypt and tried to find the same labels in Discogs in both Latin and local language script. I think that the bilingual entries should remain as they are since we don't have the commodity of the ANV for the labels. What should we do with all these multiple entries? Warp-EMI Music Publishing, Warp/EMI Music, Warp EMIĪnd so on. Nimbus 9 Productions, Nimbus 9, Nimbus 9 Productions Limited Resaca Music, Resaca Music Publishing Co.Ĭarole Bayer Sager Music, Carole Bayer Sager Music, Inc. There are labels in Discogs with multiple entries (mainly Publishers) and not necessarily non English/American labels (label here is meant in Discogs terms), e.g.:ĭuchess, Duchess Music, Duchess Music Corp. Would we have multiple Discogs entries based only on that? Makes no sense. Greek record companies credit themselves as producers for that reason. Indeed, but It has to do with the royalties. The 'Producer' role in Greek means something different, translation of the same company name? Would we have multiple Discogs entries based only on that? Makes no sense. What if there were also a French/German/. Same case in both, two Discogs entries per one entity. (two profiles -in Greek and in English- for the same label -A.E.=S.A. Please also bear in mind that in all these cases the 'Producer' role in Greek means something different, nothing to do with the work a producer (artist) does on the audio content. We have been advised to use 'Record Company' in such cases and to put the exact wording into release notes. Produced For is the exact opposite of Produced By and Made By should only be used, when actually credited that way on release (as well as manufactured by) G.P.C Athens is redundant, these entries should be under General Publishing Company.Ī XXXX production, we can not make a Produced For or a Made By credit out of it - this has been confirmed many times by Management. and 'Produced For' or 'Made By' credit.Ĥ. (2) (artist) is plain wrong! This is not an artist! The 'production' credit on these cases should be in LCCN, I would use (company) General Publishing Company S.A. Please merge! (General Publishing Company S.A. On this case though, one entry is clearly the translation of the other, company suffix included. Μίνως Μάτσας & Υιός Α.Ε.) where we couldn't get to a consensus to merge, due to the (seemingly different) company suffix. Some time ago (I don't have a link for you) there was a lengthy forum discussion on a similar two-entry case ( Minos Matsas & Son Co. Indeed these two are one and the same, in English/Greek, with the same company suffix. General Publishing Company is valid and should stay as is.Ģ. You are correct, there IS confusion here.ġ.

Pinging tzes666, tasper72, kwulf, SideEffekts, pano9000, wybmadwity Regardless of that, the Artist Profile should only be used if the credit is Producer / Produced By, but not if 'A XXX Production' > Company Profile, Record Company + release notes A reduction to just only production credits is not correct, Artist profiles can be used for any Artist credit role, if appearing as such on releaseĤ. Is it allowed to have two seperate profiles, in English and in Greek, if they Display exactly the same, only in two different languages?ģ. As per my understanding, company profiles should be used as per wording on release and not be split as per rolesĢ. I find these most confusing and misleading.ġ. Not to be confused with the label/Record Company of the same name.Īctually, a record company (see below) assuming production roles and therefore credited as producer.įor the Record Company see: General Publishing Company, General Publishing Company S.A. Athens', 'G.P.C.'įor production credits, please use General Publishing Company S.A.
