[mb-users] interesting case: EMI Electrola/Records/Chrysalis

[Johannes Dewender]

I have a difficult case for finding the definitive label in
http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8657511

The images of the cover are available at
http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=822408

from the edit notes:
> We have a logo of Nix Checking People Records, a label which 
definetely produced AB before, but we also have an EMI Electrola logo 
and an EMI? cat#, which was not on the other Nix Checking releases.
(and no Nix Checking cat#, like in other releases)
> However, we also have a Labelcode LC 0542 which has this entry on 
wikipedia: EMI / Chrysalis Records Ltd. which has also an entry in MB, 
but again another LC.
> I found out that LC 0542 is noted for EMI Records on MB, but this 
doesn't mean that we should use this as label, since the marking says 
rather EMI Electrola (which as an entry in MB).

For me, this is too much of confusion. I like to have small independent 
labels with short and pregnant cat# (like JPK 28 for JKP) and only one 
corresponding Labelcode ;-)

If somebody has some experience with EMI, I would be interested what 
label we should put in the release event and a reasoning why. This is 
not high priority of course, but I am willing to learn.
