The info in the deadwax is added to the stamper, the last disk in the process. With a set of stampers you can only press a limited number of plates. With a small edition, a set of stampers is sufficient. With larger quantities (think of popular artists) the first pressing is much larger. Can run into the hundreds of thousands (Beatles). Then several stampers are made that are used on several presses at the same time. That's where the differences in the matrix numbers come from.

Yes, that's how I always understood it FransS 

Now the key question: does it make sense to include the info in LD? As far as I'm concerned

Seems to me too.

Will it be a new field or can it be added to details? The info is not unambiguous, so the new field must then become a free field. It is possible and already happens to place it under specifics. Do you have to be able to search for it?

It seems to me that it should be a separate field (free field indeed) because it concerns information that is relevant for many items and not something unforeseen / incidental for which there is more detail.

Then you can also good search on the matrix numbers / codes.

So, quite a "Raoul story".

A very good story anyway! Thanks for sharing!

sorry, but how about all the different reprints of comics? Exactly the same argument applies there... 

Morits , I think you can compare all the different combinations of label and sleeve variants released with different printings for comics. But I would rather compare all those etched matrix numbers and codes to print runs like the thousands on some comics. Then we don't say the 2nd thousand is the 2nd edition, the 3rd thousand is the 3rd edition, etc. We do not include those kinds of thousand indications separately in comics as far as I know.

vertigo  and the rest :-)
An A cappella or acoustic song does indeed say nothing about the type of music, with those songs it is always in between (...) so with this tackle I'm' a request. And I will no longer use spoken word for a cappella, but leave it empty. (The rest of the songs on the single already indicate the genre,)

I still don't use instrumental until now.
Doesn't say anything about the genre, and is often also behind it (...)  so also a pointless request.

Also wandering along in the Matrix??! ;)
As long as one knows/sees the difference between matrix no. and label no. (release no.)
For example, the LC number is sometimes also entered for release no, which is something else.

Fill in matrix variations for 1 release rather than 100 items in the catalog with the only difference being the matrix no.

I have a large vinyl collection myself and I think it is also important to find what is in the run-out groove area - matrix songs and other codes / messages ("PORKY") - to be included with the item. Simply because you

LC number is a code that was introduced around the 80s
You could recognize the record company  and country 
by it
Has nothing to do with the record as recognition, the release number is a given
And label variant important
A record with an LC mention can never have been pressed before 1978, even if it says 1966

It's always nice when they mention Pink Floyd

They have indeed released a lot of variant 

Check this link and it probably won't be complete
But if I want to know something  n I consult these and not discogs
That is for the trade and not really for collectors of course an info channel

What I need more than matrix number

How is the cover, the attachment, the original inner cover and the rest that was sometimes supplied with it /word
Scans are a wonderful tool there

I also understand the reaction that it cannot always be checked, because one cannot always see them.
But with Music and think also with many other things with LD, double standards are used.
For example, I have filled in the B Side for thousands of records, or for records with various Artists as well, of which not much is known either, because there are no photos of them, and what about all those Composers and Lyricists, where do they come from? all from, they are not always visible on the record.

It is also the case that the adjustments you have made are well managed, then there are more than > 2000 item adjustments of yours still open for review!
Now we also know that you pay the necessary attention to the adjustments, but unquestioning agreement is not the intention
You recently rated an item twice while the first item release number 1 number was entered differently (presumably a typing error) and the scan does not provide clarity for the time being different item
That we use other info channels is only okay but is not always the truth
Matrix numbers! I don't see any added value for the catalogue
A field for own collection /item is a great idea

 Already suggested years ago: the fields Noise and Field Recording.

Can some more background info and argumentation be added to this request?

Sorry for the late response, Collector. Message overlooked.

Field recording for, for example, sound carriers specifically aimed at ambient sounds recorded outside a regular recording studio. Think of bird sounds, city sounds, train sounds and so on.

Noise for sound carriers with deliberately distorted acoustic/electronic sound without structure (Merzbow, John Duncan etc.).

Both genres make up at least 20% of my collection. So a bit of preaching for your own parish.

So you are not asking for new fields, but for an extension of the Genres?

Collectioneur
Have two proposals for two new fields in Music.
Goes first to create a new field for the Arranger.
Goes second to create a new field for Producer.
Those fields should appear on every Track, the same as they are now for the Composers and Lyricists.
The Producers and Arrangers are indicated on a lot of records, which I think should be placed somewhere.
At moment put I usually give them at specifics, but this is not the best solution.
Greetings John.

By Producer you mean the English term Producer, I assume.
I had already put that on the wish list myself.

Arranger is a potentially new field.

I was looking at this item in books
#4895067

Now this is about singer songwriters
If you want one linke you have to name each artist 3x
Performer
Composer
Lyricist

Would be nice if you could enter that immediately
Have only done performing artist now

Also a wish also asked by Frans
Example Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Is artist Young, Neil
Is artist Crazy Horse
And not Neil Young & Crazy Horse
(That combination still exists in LD)
Also applies to Cliff and the Shadows
McCartney and Wings
Etc

But I still want to be able to make a selection of
Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Or Paul and Wings

Surely this should be possible?

It would be nice if the name of the band is not in the same data file as the band members and guest artists. Then if you go to Neil Young & Crazy Horse you will only see the records of this group. If you search for Neil Young you will see everything about this man. Now think to me that we have to come up with something if we only want to see Mr. Young's solo work.

I got that Neil Youg & Crazy Horse
modified and removed this combination from artists
Only something I've mentioned before, the main artist is known, he shouldn't also be a guest artist
https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/items/6657653-neil-young-archives-1-1963-1972


In this case, several groups and artists are guests
But artists shouldn't say various artists
It's just Young, Neil
And then some guests
Surely there must be something to make that guest artist = artist
This field remains empty

Probably due to the indexing, there will be more in a while.
