Release
Real-world release object you can buy in your music store. It has release date and country, list of catalog number and label pairs, packaging type and release status. Example:
- 1984 US release of "The Wall" by "Pink Floyd", release on label "Columbia Records" with catalog number "C2K 36183" and UPC "074643618328", it's an official release and comes with two CDs in jewel case.

Tracklist
Simple list of tracks, tracklists are used by mediums.
Tracklist Track
This object is not visible to users on it's own, only in the context of a tracklist. It contains a link to a track, title, artist credit and the position on the tracklist.
