Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By: Instrumental Version (CD): version 1
Saved 2026-09-14 02:50 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the US CD of Lovage, *Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By: Instrumental Version* (75 Ark 75053, released 2001-12-11), from the wanted list. Identity: the MusicBrainz release 65b7a236 and Discogs release 741078 both give barcode 676217505326 and catalogue number 75053. The 2007 Barcodepedia page was used for identity only. Filled Release, 12 tracks with MusicBrainz durations, credits and matrix/SID codes from Discogs, and a US Markets row from the MusicBrainz release event (the Amazon listing matches but prints no barcode). Relations: marketed_by 75 Ark (sourced); distributed_by Tommy Boy (derived from the Discogs label profile and the 2LP credit); gs1_prefix_owner 75 Ark (sourced from the company/75-ark stub, prefix 0676217). The product links to the brand/75-ark, company/75-ark and company/tommy-boy-records stubs that discover-4999cc already created. This result adds only family/music-to-make-love-to-your-old-lady-by, with variants from the MusicBrainz release group. Gaps: no pack photo was read, packaging type is unknown, HA/CA's legal name is unknown, and country of manufacture is not recorded. Front cover requested via musicbrainz_images.. Current is v3.
