Description
This field is a part of release event and describes the country in which an album was released.
What a Release Country is not
- The manufacturing country: A release country is NOT the same as a country where the physical medium has been manufactured or the cover printed.
- A short name for a small group of known countries. For example Benelux stands for Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The specific countries should be used instead then.
