| | relationships | unknown | No source names the GS1 registrant of prefix 0028947; Discogs names UMG Recordings, Inc. only as licensor, so gs1_prefix_owner is omitted | ^discogs-us |
| | identity | disputed | Discogs holds a second US DualDisc under catalogue number 475 702-5 (release 516874) with no barcode recorded; it may be this article under another catalogue number and was not merged | ^discogs-us-475 |
| | identity | not_applicable | The BMG Direct club edition shares catalogue number B0004748-82 but carries its own Code 39 barcode D161906 and is a different article | ^discogs-club |
| us-dualdisc | media | disputed | MusicBrainz models the DualDisc as two media (12 CD-side tracks and 40 DVD-side items, listing surround and stereo mixes separately); Discogs lists one hybrid disc with 20 DVD-side items; discs is 1 per the Discogs format quantity and Tracks follows Discogs for the DVD side | ^musicbrainz |
| us-dualdisc | media | disputed | CD-side durations differ by up to six seconds between MusicBrainz and Discogs (Wintersun 3:27 against 3:21); Tracks keeps MusicBrainz timings and notes the Discogs figure | ^discogs-us |
| | schema | schema_gap | Release media has no DualDisc value; media is set to other and the format is kept in Specifications and edition | |
| | markets | unknown | Glitter Records lists a used VG+ copy printing this barcode at EUR 9.95, sold out; the shop's country is unclear (.com.au domain, euro prices), so no Markets row was added | ^glitter |
| | markets | not_researched | No new-stock retail listing printing this barcode was found; status and last_seen are left blank | ^amazon-us |
| | packaging | not_researched | Case type (jewel case, digipak or other) is not stated by any source read | |
