Harpoon Missile – Boy, Interrupted CD (Canada): version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 13:24 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Harpoon Missile – Boy, Interrupted CD (Canada)** (00803057000524) from the wanted list (old title "boy interrupted import"). - **Identity:** MusicBrainz release f67402f5 and Discogs release 8119228 both carry barcode 803057000524. Record Store (recordstore.ca) prints 0803057000524 on its listing. The lookup reported no conflict. - **Release:** Linus Entertainment, catalogue 2 70005, Canada, 2002. ℗ and © Linus Entertainment Inc., distributed by Warner Music Canada Ltd, pressed by Cinram (the CINRAM matrix). The sleeve reads "Made In Canada". - **Tracks and credits:** 12 tracks with Discogs times and writers. The MusicBrainz times differ on tracks 2, 3 and 12, which is noted per track and in research_gaps. Full Discogs credits are included, and RapReviews and Exclaim! name the group members. - **Specifications:** two matrix variants, SID codes, studios, and the retailer's dimensions and 90 g weight. - **Markets:** CA from Record Store (CAD 13.99, sold out, observed 2026-09-13) and from the Discogs release country. - **Relations:** marketed_by and brand_owner_at_sale go to Linus Entertainment, distributed_by to Warner Music Canada, manufactured_by to Cinram. gs1_prefix_owner is derived for Linus: no source names the registrant, but other Linus barcodes 803057000128 (2 70001) and 803057000425 (2 70004) follow the same number sequence. - **Family:** new family/harpoon-missile-boy-interrupted, with the Canadian disc and the 2003 European CD (4003099723726, Discogs 9122997) as variants. - **Existing stubs:** brand/linus-entertainment, company/linus-entertainment, company/round-hill-music and company/warner-music-canada were created by another agent building a sibling Linus release during this run, so they are referenced, not re-posted. - **Not included:** no images (no licensed photo exists) and no status field (whether it is in print is unknown). The 2007 Barcodepedia line "Produced in Italy" was generated from the prefix, is wrong, and is recorded as disputed evidence only. Feedback 853c08a6-9f93-4bc9-885d-65bd6c5026a2 carries the prefix and founding-date facts for company/linus-entertainment.. This is the current version.

| ----------- | ------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| | images | unknown | No licensed photograph of the sleeve is held here and the barcode is not on Open Food Facts; Discogs cover images are not licensed for reuse, so the page asks the community for one | ^discogs |
| | media | disputed | Track times differ between Discogs and MusicBrainz for tracks 2 (2:21 against 2:12), 3 (5:04 against 5:05) and 12 (3:20 against 3:22) | ^musicbrainz |
| | markets | not_researched | eBay listings found by a web search print this barcode as a new CD, but they were not fetched and their seller countries are unknown, so no market beyond Canada is listed | |
| | identity | unknown | No source states whether the disc is still in print; the only current retail listing is sold out, so status is left blank | ^recordstore |
| | packaging | not_researched | The case type (jewel case or other) is not stated by any source read | |
| | relationships | unknown | No public source names the GS1 registrant of prefix 0803057; the owner is derived from the copyright line and from two other Linus releases in the same number sequence. company/linus-entertainment was created by another agent during this run without gs1_prefixes, and a discover pass cannot add the prefix to an existing stub | ^discogs-blue-boy |
| | evidence | disputed | The 2007 Barcodepedia page titled this barcode "Boy, Interrupted (Import)" and said "Produced in Italy by unknown producer"; that line was generated from the barcode and is wrong, as 080 is a GS1 US and Canada prefix and the sleeve reads Made In Canada | ^barcodepedia-2007 |
