A type of field like sequences might help!
Just not in its current form
If a solution is found that ensures that a link exists within the series
Series -number/attribute

Polydor single Number
Golden oldies. Number
Book & fits. Number
Label. Record
Label. Special

As long as the 2nd column cannot be linked to the first
It doesn't work
It is a great wish
Then you can make optimal use of series

Searching by series is really fantastic
Gives a lot of information

Then you still don't know which variant belongs to a specific item.

No that is right. I didn't know you meant that. This way you get all the Reprises together.

Dick52

You could make a series of Reprise "within" Reprise Records to separate them. We have already done that with London. It has a number of series such as London American Records, London American Dot Recordings and London American Jazz Trcordings.

Dick has a point. It is not possible to create two series with separate numbering, but that does not apply here.

Sorry, I worded it a bit rickety. Actually I meant that it contradicts what you said earlier, which is this:

But at the same time, a rule was applied to copy information exactly from the label. A long time ago we decided to prefer the latter.

Then it seems that in practice the information is not copied exactly from the label, but that a variant is added.

It is indeed true that in many cases the data is not copied exactly. You got that right ;-) I was referring to the fact that if the label says Reprise Records, we still had to write Reprise (omit Records). I tried to explain the dilemma and that was probably a bit rickety ;-)

FransS and the others.
This is what it says in the Handbook.

The issuing record company of the carrier is entered in this field.
The names of labels are taken from the carrier (label).

If you follow these rules, there is not much of what the Label names look like now.
I don't think anyone has thought about whether a label name is written with or without records.
Take the time and enter Records at the top of the search list, then the Record Companies will appear, and then take a look through a few.
There are currently more than 244,000 items in the Music Catalog.
Not everyone can go through and adjust these, so a pragmatic solution is to add Records next to the Label name where possible.

We certainly thought about that and it was then decided to leave out Record(s) bv LTD land
After that it was actually let go
I would rather not have seen it
That's why you come across it

Thoughtful or well thought through, there is a considerable difference.
But that's the way it is now.
And no one changes 244,000 items.
Hence my proposal.
Add records to the Labels where necessary and adjust the Manual accordingly.
Not necessarily with all labels, take RCA Victor for example, we have already separated them quite a bit. (There are still about 1000 that still need to be adjusted)

I think removing the word record is simple
adding it will have to be done manually
In addition, this has certainly been carefully considered in the past
But that can happen somewhere
2010 have been
However, there are always a few who adjust it incorrectly or have different thoughts about it

Of course one can remove the word Records, but what would that bring, for example Reprise Records alone there are 1372 items in the Catalog. Of which I think half is Reprise and half is Reprise Records.
Coincidentally, I was adjusting with Nancy Sinatra the last few days, who is with Reprise (was also founded by her father Frank).
Two examples, #4438187 without Records, #2386409 with Records.
But you can also leave everything as is and when you adjust an item, also adjust the Label name.
You certainly know the other big ones, they usually do it with Records as well.
And yes, we are talking about Records here and not about Stamps.

The others are usually for trade
And really, I have never had anything to do with that, I am an enthusiast "collector" and like to share that with others
I got to know Catawiki and I appreciated that collecting is becoming a catalogue
Also for others
And it still bothers me
Messy input etc. (and for me it is still far from the way I like it)
And all those other sites are sometimes a help to me
But no mirror

But isn't it true that Frank “Reprise”
Thought of a name and I think there is a story about that too
I ever read something with his name!?
And later that record was added
Perhaps because it is also a norm
Reprise chewing gum existed
And. Some companies also had other articles under the same company name and added a record to make a distinction
Maybe tax competition or whatever
I would use the trade register as a benchmark, but I don't look it up

Lyonesse to make it completely "easy" is stated on the cover of #4438187 yes Records. And the initials RR in the label number also seem to me to come from Reprise Records.

There is a nice Wikipedia page and a Reprise Records Story about Reprise Records where Reprise and Reprise Records are used interchangeably and where under the Reprise Records flag there is a Tricolor steamboat label with only Reprise.

To me it is clear that Reprise and Reprise Records are one and the same label.

The most important question for the specialists is:
or 1) you want to see all plates issued by a specific company/business unit together
or 2) that it is mainly about the search function to be able to filter on what exactly is on the label.

In that case, Reprise Records now seems correct to me. The label seems to have been founded under that name.

I can't follow that thought. As far as I'm concerned, the founding name is irrelevant. What matters is how the name is represented on the early sound recording media.

Then you choose option 2.
Reprise Records has released records under both "Reprise" and "Reprise Records" on the label.
Now I understand your comment about dating better, because Reprise was used in the early period and Reprise Records was used at least from 1968 to 2002 (beyond that I'm not sure).

Apparently your options weren't clear enough or I'm too stupid ;-)

Anyway, I merged them at your request and I probably shouldn't have done that. So I think it would be wise to leave it as is for now. I don't feel like taking them apart again. I don't have time for that either.

The problem does not only occur at Reprise Helv has only unconsciously started it.
Have another random example, take Arista and Arista Records
Example this is at Arista Records #8995047 but he belongs to Arista
This is at Arista #913399 but it belongs to Arista Records.
Helv the problem at issue here has nothing to do with the cover, it only concerns the information on the label and not whether the name of the label has been changed from, for example, Reprise to Reprise Records.
Or that Reprise Records has been a sub-label of Warner Music Group since 1963.

But it is clear that something has to be done, because the rules of the Music Handbook are not followed or dealt with here, consciously or unconsciously, that does not play a role here.

Not so, Dick. Super administrators can also easily merge with and without Records.

Lyonesse
Both options, splitting or merging, have advantages and disadvantages. At this time I cannot speak for all administrators. We need to have a discussion first.

Merging is very fast, but splitting is painfully slow: each item separately. So it's important to think about that carefully.

I think it's time for a physical administrators meeting to discuss these types of issues. That worked well in the past ;-)
