We’re Going to Ibiza! – Vengaboys (cassette single): version 1
Saved 2026-09-14 03:09 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the UK cassette single **We’re Going to Ibiza! – Vengaboys** (barcode 0724388760744, Positiva TCTIV 119 / 7243 8 87607 4 4), taken from the wanted list (old title "vengaboys cassette"). **Identity** was confirmed from the barcode outward. The MusicBrainz release (c34072f3) and the Discogs release (9785178) both carry barcode 724388760744, the same catalogue numbers, Positiva as the label and the same six-track list. Wikipedia's track listing cites the UK cassette single sleeve with the same two numbers. The lookup reported no conflict: Open Food Facts, USDA, Open Library and Wikidata have no record. **Release and Tracks:** artist, label imprint (brand/positiva), LC0542, the copyright lines ((P) Violent Music BV, (C) EMI Records Ltd.) and the UK release date of 6 September 1999 (Wikipedia, citing Music Week). Tracks and durations are from MusicBrainz; remix and megamix credits are from Discogs, and the songwriters and producers from Wikipedia. **Relations:** licensed_to Parlophone Records and licensed_from Violent Music, both sourced from Discogs. EMI Records Limited is Companies House company 00068172, renamed Parlophone Records Limited on 30 May 2013. Following the brief, the stub key uses the current name and the 1999 name is a dated legal alias. There is no gs1_prefix_owner row because no source names the registrant; this is recorded in research_gaps. The 2006 page's "EMI Group PLC" line was generated from the prefix and is not used as evidence. **Markets:** one GB row, sourced from Wikipedia's release history with MusicBrainz and Discogs as support. No current retailer listing printing the barcode could be read (the eBay page gave the server a bot challenge), so this is noted as stale. **Stubs:** brand/positiva (owned by Universal Music Group since 2012, per Wikipedia), company/parlophone-records (Companies House name history and PSC WMG Finance Limited), company/violent-music, company/universal-music-group, and family/we-re-going-to-ibiza (variants from Wikipedia, with CD barcodes left blank rather than guessed). **Images:** none. Cover Art Archive has no artwork for this release and no licensed photo was found.. This is the current version.

| ----------- | ------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| gb-cassette | relationships | unknown | No source names the registrant of this barcode's GS1 company prefix, so there is no gs1_prefix_owner row. The barcode repeats the EMI-style catalogue number 7243 8 87607 4 4, a lead only. The 2006 Barcodepedia line "Produced in by EMI (Electric & Musical Industries) Group PLC" was generated from the prefix and is not evidence | ^barcodepedia-2006 |
| gb-cassette | markets | stale | Only the 1999 UK release is evidenced; no dated retailer or second-hand listing that prints the barcode was read (the eBay catalogue page found by web search answered the server with a bot challenge). Discogs' "UK & Europe" release country is not backed by a listing outside the UK | ^ebay-us |
| gb-cassette | identity | unknown | Wikipedia gives 6 September 1999 as the UK release date for CD and cassette; MusicBrainz and Discogs give only the year 1999. Availability status (discontinued or not) is unsourced and left blank | ^wikipedia |
| gb-cassette | identity | unknown | The label imprint, catalogue numbers and credits come from MusicBrainz and Discogs; no photo of the sleeve or cassette was read, so the printed wording of the credits is unconfirmed | ^discogs |
| | images | unknown | Cover Art Archive holds no artwork for this MusicBrainz release, and no licensed photo of the sleeve was found | ^musicbrainz |
