Thoughts on recording
==Who are you?==


I've spoken to the band about this, which includes one recording engineer, and all agree that a recording is a recording.
My name is Mud, 37 years old, from Norfolk, England. Well known for his multi-coloured hair and complete lack of dress sense and colour co-ordination.
The band go into the studio, record a track, it's mixed, that's the recording. It may be released on a CD, vinyl, cassette, digital download, it may appear on an album, or EP or a various compilation or as a single download, but it's still the same recording, to say it's different is nonsensical to all of us.


Different recording sessions produce different recordings, not how it's released.
==What are your prefered scopes on Music Brainz?==

UK 1980's punk bands, punk bands in general, indie, gothic & alternative bands. Adding band members until I can complete a huge family tree of punk. Adding complete label discographys for small independant labels. Adding AR links for every person credited on a release. Splitting mixed artists, correcting mis-credited artists, and generally trying to get every detail 100% correct.

Like most of these bootleg comps the track titles/artists usually have errors and tend to suffer from Chinese whispers tagging via p2p.

Thoughts on recording

I've spoken to the band about this, which includes one recording engineer, and all agree that a recording is a recording. The band go into the studio, record a track, it's mixed, that's the recording. It may be released on a CD, vinyl, cassette, digital download, it may appear on an album, or EP or a various compilation or as a single download, but it's still the same recording, to say it's different is nonsensical to all of us.

Different recording sessions produce different recordings, not how it's released.
