Elaine Paige: Piaf (CD): version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 13:15 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Elaine Paige: Piaf (CD)**, GTIN 00745099464127, from the wanted list (old title "piaf"). - **Identity:** WEA CD with catalogue number 4509-94641-2 and label code LC 4281. MusicBrainz, Discogs release 2474758 and the Wikipedia article all name the same album, and the barcode matches. - **Release and tracks:** released by Warner Music UK, pressed by Warner Music Manufacturing Europe. 11 tracks, with sleeve timings from Discogs, MusicBrainz disc lengths in notes and writers from Wikipedia. Main credits from Discogs. - **Markets:** EU (Discogs); GB (Wikipedia, UK chart no. 46), plus a derived Amazon.co.uk listing matched by ASIN B000024BRL, which MusicBrainz also gives; DE (MusicBrainz release event); AU (Discogs Australian entry with the same barcode and a WME matrix). - **Stubs:** brand/wea (imprint of Warner Music Group per Discogs); company/warner-music-uk (Companies House 00680511 with former names; owned by Warner Music International Services per PSC); company/warner-music-international-services (02258593); company/warner-music-group (Wikipedia); company/warner-music-manufacturing-europe (Discogs); family/elaine-paige-piaf (Discogs master 805628). - **Unresolved (in research gaps):** the release date conflicts (1994-11-07 per Wikipedia/Music Week, 1995-07-03 per MusicBrainz for DE). No source names the GS1 licensee of prefix 0745099, so there is no gs1_prefix_owner edge. A boxed promo reuses the barcode. There is no openly licensed photo. The cassette and South African CD barcodes were not checked.. Current is v2.

| 97 | 97 | | | identity | disputed | Release date: Wikipedia gives 7 November 1994 (citing Music Week, 5 November 1994) and Discogs 1994; MusicBrainz records a German release event on 1995-07-03 and Amazon.co.uk shows 27 Dec. 1996 for its import stock. The 1994 UK date is used; the later dates may be national release or stock dates. | ^musicbrainz | | |
| 98 | 98 | | | relationships | unknown | GS1 prefix 0745099 (a US/Canada GS1 range) is used on many European WEA 4509- releases, but no source names the licensee, so no gs1_prefix_owner edge is recorded. | | | |
| 99 | 99 | | | media | disputed | Track durations: the sleeve timings on Discogs and Wikipedia run 2 to 5 seconds shorter than the MusicBrainz disc lengths; runtime_min is the sum of the MusicBrainz lengths (Discogs timings sum to 37.7 min). | ^musicbrainz | | |
