## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| | 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 |
| | 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. | |
| | 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 |
| | images | unknown | No openly licensed cover photo found; the Wikipedia cover is non-free and Discogs images carry no reuse licence. | |
| | markets | not_researched | A cassette (4509-94641-4) and a South African CD (WICD 5199) exist on the same Discogs master; their barcodes were not checked. | ^discogs-master |
