Bootism: The Bootsauce Collection (CD): version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 13:12 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the wanted barcode 0731453229020: Bootsauce, *Bootism: The Bootsauce Collection*, the 1996 Canadian retail CD on Vertigo (catalogue number 314-532-290-2). - **Identity:** MusicBrainz release 918e319e (barcode, 16 tracks, CA 1996) and Discogs release 5035719 (barcode, label Vertigo, manufactured for and distributed by PolyGram Group Canada Inc., pressed by Cinram) both name this barcode. - **Tracks:** 16 tracks with Discogs retail durations; where MusicBrainz differs, its titles and durations are in the notes. - **Credits:** band and design credits come from the Discogs BMG Direct club edition (5456235), whose disc has the same matrix 3145322902. Each row says so. - **Market:** CA (sourced, Discogs and MusicBrainz). - **New stubs:** brand/vertigo (Discogs label 2266), company/polygram-canada (Discogs labels 54899, 269383 and 1169139 give the names and dates 1990-1999), family/bootism-the-bootsauce-collection (Discogs master 660278, with the cassette 00731453229044 and the club edition 00777499337053 as variants). company/cinram already existed and is reused. - **Unresolved (in research_gaps):** MusicBrainz credits the imprint Mercury Records and Discogs credits Vertigo, and no spine photo was read to settle it. There is no gs1_prefix_owner edge because no source names the registrant of 0731453. The copyright line and "Made in Canada" are only sourced for the club edition, so they are left blank. In-print status is unknown, and there is no licensed image.. This is the current version.

| ca-retail-cd | relationships | disputed | MusicBrainz credits this barcode to the imprint Mercury Records, while every Discogs edition of the master credits Vertigo with catalogue number 314-532-290-2; the page follows Discogs. No spine or back-insert photo was read to settle it | ^mb |

| ca-retail-cd | identity | unknown | The copyright line "℗&© 1996 Mercury / Polydor, a division of PolyGram Group Canada Inc." and "Made in Canada" are transcribed only on the BMG Direct club edition, so Release.copyright and country_of_origin stay blank for the retail CD | ^discogs-club |
