Patience – George Michael (CD, Canada): version 1
Saved 2026-09-26 16:13 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the Canadian CD of George Michael's Patience (Epic EK 92080) under barcode 777496217303. This completes the variant row that family/patience-george-michael-album already names. - **Identity:** the MusicBrainz release 1de413c6 (country CA, Epic EK 92080, 12 tracks) and Discogs release 11245700 (Canada, 2004; barcode in text form "7 77496 21730 3 02" and scanned form) both give this barcode. Discogs notes that it differs from the other Canadian release 9665458, which carries the US barcode 827969208021 (that release already has a page). - **Relations:** Sony Music Entertainment (Canada) Inc. is manufacturer and distributor per Discogs. The licence to Sony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd. comes from the North American CD credits. gs1_prefix_owner for prefix 0777496 is `derived` to the Canadian Sony stub, and nothing is written to company prefixes. - **Markets:** CA from Discogs and MusicBrainz. Amazon.ca was searched by barcode, name and name + CD. Its only Patience CD listing prints 827969208021, so this is recorded as a markets research gap. - **Tracks:** durations from MusicBrainz, and writers from the MusicBrainz works on the same recordings (identical recording ids to the US release). - **Cover:** Cover Art Archive has no cover for this release, so there is no image. Sources: MusicBrainz, Discogs 11245700 / 9665458 / 667632, Wikipedia, Amazon.ca. . This is the current version.
