| PhilMH 12th Jun 2024 |  | Queen A: We Are The Champions B: We Will Rock You | Well, I didn't think it possible for this site to make a worse decision than some of the ones at Discogs, but it looks like I've been proved wrong. Maybe I should add all of my US, UK and Japanese imports to these sites as Australian releases because, as Dr. Doom says, "they were available (in Australia) somehow" (through import shops), and then just sit back and watch the shitstorm. |
| PhilMH 11th Jun 2024 | | Queen A: We Are The Champions B: We Will Rock You | The significant difference with that Swedish record is that it was imported by Decca's Swedish affiliate, whose name appears on the sleeve along with the label logo and catalogue number. |
| PhilMH 11th Jun 2024 | | Queen A: We Are The Champions B: We Will Rock You | Official release in USA only, not in Belgium because Elektra/WEA didn't have the rights to Queen, EMI did. I agree with Toad that the sleeve images should be moved to the US entry, and also hidden because the don't belong to the USA release. itcameoutofthesky would then have to rejig his list so that the records point to the USA releases, or just put the records and sleeves on 45spaces if he wants the images to be displayed. As for Dr. Doom's concerns that this situation will keep coming up, expand the guide to adding records to state that imports into another country should not be added as releases for that second country, unless it can be demonstrated that they were imported by the record company that held the rights. |
| PhilMH 10th Jun 2024 | | Queen A: We Are The Champions B: We Will Rock You | My answer to both of Toad's questions is a resounding NO. It should not be classified as a Belgian release unless it is manufactured by, or imported by, the company that has the rights to release it. Otherwise, you are opening the doors to treat any import to any country as a release in that country. For example, LP and CD product from UK labels like Ace, Charly and Demon were imported into Australia by several import distributors - no one distributor had the Australian rights to any of those labels - so to start treating them as Australian releases because they were fairly widely available in Australian shops would be an absolute fallacy. Even if those importers had put the discs into their own covers (which they didn't), they still weren't record labels as such. This disc should only be treated as a release in another country if it was imported by a WEA company in a country which had the rights to Queen (which, as it happened, included Australia and New Zealand at that time). EMI Belgium should have sued the pants of whoever that Belgian distributor was, for importing product that EMI had the exclusive rights to. |
| PhilMH 8th Jun 2024 | | Queen A: We Are The Champions B: We Will Rock You | Definitely not an official record company release for Belgium, due to the simple fact that Queen were an EMI act in Europe, not an Elektra act, so only EMI had the right to release and distribute the band's records in Belgium. Putting this US import into a sleeve created by a Belgian importer does not make this a legitimate Belgian release. Put these sleeves somewhere else, like 45spaces, and vaporise this entry once and for all! |
