Discussion

• a covert art for release-group would be useful too, but I guess that could be done by choosing one of links of releases (without requiring an AR) -- murdos 11:28, 08 December 2008 (UTC)
• purchase for mail-order, purchase for download, download for free, creative commons licensed download: I presume you mean "all releases (events) of the defunct album", not "all releases of the new release_group". -- murdos 11:28, 08 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I didn't notice this comment before. Yes, I mean release events of an album. In the initial import, "release event" == "release", "release (previously album)" == "release group", so that's the same thing. -- LukasLalinsky 09:56, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
