Explosive: The Best of Bond (DualDisc): version 1

Saved 2026-09-13 23:52 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added bond, *Explosive: The Best of Bond*, US DualDisc (Decca B0004748-82, 2005-06-28), barcode 028947569527, from the wanted list. - Identity: MusicBrainz release 1f0364e4 and Discogs release 8091967 both carry this barcode. The old 2007 Barcodepedia page (from Amazon.com data) agrees on the title. - Brand: brand/decca. Record company: company/decca-music-group (℗/© holder). Relations from the Discogs credits: manufactured and marketed by Universal Classics Group, distributed by Universal Music & Video Distribution, Corp., licensed from UMG Recordings, Inc. All are existing stubs. - Category: GPC 10003718 Dual Discs - Pre-recorded. - Tracks: the 12 CD-side tracks use MusicBrainz timings, with Discogs differences noted. The 20 DVD-side items follow Discogs. - Credits and disc codes come from Discogs. - Markets: US `sourced` from the Discogs US release. US `derived` from the Amazon.com ASIN B0009NCQJ6 listing, which prints no barcode. - New stub: family/explosive-the-best-of-bond, with the European CD (00028947570257) and CD+DVD (00028947570028) as variants. - Unresolved (in research_gaps): GS1 registrant not named; the US 475 702-5 DualDisc may be the same article; MusicBrainz and Discogs model the DualDisc media differently; no DualDisc value in the media enum; the Glitter Records listing's country is unclear; case type unknown. - Cover: requested via musicbrainz_images.. Current is v2.
