| ----------- | ------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| | identity | disputed | Label: Discogs files the release under Westminster with label code LC 00393, the Westminster code; MusicBrainz and the Deutsche Grammophon catalogue page name Deutsche Grammophon (LC 0173). The brand follows the Westminster imprint of the series; no cover photo was read to settle which logo signs the spine. | ^mb |
| | identity | unknown | Discogs lists a US club edition with the same catalogue number made for BMG Direct under licence; it carries club number D 143531 and no UPC, so it is not treated as this article. | ^discogs-club |
| | identity | unknown | country_of_origin is left blank: the inlay reads "Made in the E. U."; only Discogs' company credit names Germany (Universal M & L). | ^discogs |
| | relationships | unknown | No source names the licensee of GS1 company prefix 0028947; no gs1_prefix_owner edge is recorded. | |
| | markets | stale | The only retailer listing found (Amazon.com) prints no barcode; the MusicBrainz release group could not be re-read for other editions (HTTP 503 at the time). | ^amazon |
