Pseudo-releases exist as an alternate tracklist (and title/artist credit) to one or more official releases. As such, they shouldn't duplicate all the information already available on the official releases they're linked to.

As such, for a pseudo-release linked to one or more official releases, only the following fields should be filled in:

  • Release name and release artist
  • Track names and track artists
  • Medium names, when they exist
  • Status
  • Language
  • Script
  • Track times, if desired

If no official releases for a pseudo-release currently exist in MusicBrainz (because the editor adding the pseudo-release wasn't able to add a release in the original language, for example), it is acceptable to add any other information that makes it easier to find it and link it to the official release in the future (such as label and catalog number).
