"The Blues Confusion" : An attempt to peer through the fog
Between 1993 and 1997, Orbis Publishing released a series of CDs entitled "The Blues Collection". The series comprised 90 CDs issued fortnightly. There was also a bonus issue entitled "The Blues at Christmas : The Very Best of the Blues", released midway through the collection but with the catalog number BLU NCC 093. This same series was released by Orbis in Germany, starting in 1994, and also by DeAgostini in the Netherlands and Belgium.
However, it appears that for whatever reason, Orbis re-sequenced the issues between the initial UK release and subsequent releases. This page attempts to document the discrepancies between the releases as an aid to MusicBrainz editors.
Furthermore, it appears that only 75 CDs were released in Germany.
Pending further information from my contact at DeAgostini UK, here is a list of all the known releases with known catalog numbers. The last column indicates a mismatch in the sequence numbers between releases, which would require clones to be created in the MusicBrainz database.
