I usually enter all the digits that appear on the spine of the CD case, 
including spaces and punctuation. But if the part after the comma is 
actually a second catalogue number (from a different label/imprint, 
perhaps?) then maybe it should go in a second release event or in the 
annotation. Some of this is discussed at
