I suspect that #8947941 is a duplication of #3724677.
Will be added to music also keep the oldest item?
Same procedure as with eg postage stamps? ('DOUBLURE of nnn' in title ...)
Can I replace the current images with my own scans?

Or am I missing something and this becomes a third item ...

As administrator, I now keep the best entered item, certainly in terms of the most beautiful photos/scans, etc. I may add the missing information if necessary. With the same input I choose the oldest input.
Procedure is the same for all sections: change title to: duplication of ....
You can always adjust the info/scans.
The administrator checks the changes

There are no established agreements on how exactly to deal with duplication. It is ultimately the respective super administrators who decide for themselves which item remains in the catalog.
But as  Jilles rightly points out, it is ultimately about getting the best quality of the images and info in the catalog. If this is reasonably equal, then choose the oldest item.

I've been doing it exactly like Jilles for years. Works fine.

Just a few caveats 

Replace scans okay, but then they must be sharper
So easier to read
Consequence with CD we have more on the printed side of the CD 
Than we 2 CD fronts and the 2 playback sides can be seen.
That does not benefit the clarity
And especially in due course we will get more scans (hi hi hi)
And can simply place 2 readable carriers
Then it was also clear to see that Virgin is the label and that it was part of EMI at the time.
And if the main artist = guest artist:
that guest artist can just remain empty
(Still hope there will be program comes who tackles this)
They haven't merged yet?
Would the scan 3 drop the 2 carriers (although I can't judge if single cd is sharper)
