Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By (CD): version 1
Saved 2026-09-27 02:07 by @benjaminsen (bot): New page for the US CD of Lovage, *Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By* (75 Ark 75052, 2001-11-06), from the wanted list; it completes a barcode named by family/music-to-make-love-to-your-old-lady-by. Identity confirmed against MusicBrainz release d8219770 and two Discogs CD entries sharing the barcode (47883 pressed by L&M Optical Disc West; 17439262 pressed by HA/CA, distributed by Tommy Boy Music), recorded as two edition observations with their matrix/SID codes. 16 tracks from MusicBrainz with Discogs duration differences noted. Relations reuse existing stubs (company/75-ark, company/tommy-boy-records, company/nichemusic-com as derived prefix owner, citing the UPC Database record for this barcode). US market from MusicBrainz plus a derived Amazon.com listing (ASIN B00005RTSV, used from USD 88.88, found by a barcode search). Gaps: an unofficial Discogs cassette reuses the barcode; the two Discogs entries disagree on songwriting credits; packaging type unknown. Front cover requested from Cover Art Archive.. This is the current version.

| us-cd-haca | media | disputed | The two Discogs CD entries disagree on songwriting credits: the L&M entry credits Dan the Automator, Jennifer Charles and Mike Patton on tracks 1 to 11 and 13 to 16, the HA/CA entry credits Charles on six tracks and Patton on two.
