[mb-users] Label, cat known, but not the year

[Johannes Dewender]

Hello,

I have this issue again and this time I don't get around it.

It seems quite normal for a re-release to include the original copyright 
notice with the original production year on the cover. Especially for a 
re-release that was probably made 10 years later or similar this is NOT 
the release date.
You can still gather lots of information from the cover. Actually 
everything but the release date (sometimes the country is also an 
issue). While you can leave out everything and also let the country be 
unknown, you can NOT leave the year blank.

Just stating the original year of production is simply wrong.
Just not adding the event is not a nice solution, because you have 
information about a label, a barcode and a cat#.
Do you just add this to the annotation then?

My current example:

I could not find any date information about the re-release. It is a 
quite rare release altogether. I found some people selling this on 
marketplace, but no official source selling it and no date, other than 
the one stated in the copyright/production notice.
