Reality – David Bowie (CD): version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 13:52 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added David Bowie – Reality, single-disc CD (ISO Records / Columbia CK 90576), barcode 0827969057629, from the wanted list (the old 2007 page titled it "reality"). Identity comes from MusicBrainz release 48748fec (US, 2003-09-16, barcode 827969057629) and three Discogs entries that carry this barcode: US 1175665 and 10487191, Canada 4431701. The album background is from Wikipedia. The 11 tracks and their lengths are from MusicBrainz; runtime_min (49.4) is their sum. Credits, matrix codes and where the catalogue number is printed are from Discogs; the performers are from Wikipedia's personnel list. Markets: US (MusicBrainz release country, plus an Amazon.com listing for ASIN B0000AR8NK, which MusicBrainz links to this release; that page shows the barcode only in its part number MFR827969057629#VG), CA (Discogs Canadian pressing), DK (iMusic.dk listing prints EAN 0827969057629; marked not available, so no price). Relations: marketed_by Sony Music Entertainment and licensed_from ISO Records (both sourced from Discogs' "Licensed To" credit); gs1_prefix_owner Sony Music Entertainment is derived, the same way as on the other Columbia CD pages. Brand is the existing brand/columbia-records (CK 90576 is printed on the spine). New stubs: company/iso-records (from Discogs label 55782 and Wikipedia) and family/reality-david-bowie-album (Wikipedia and Discogs master 49895). Open gaps: no licensed cover photo; the GS1 registrant is not named anywhere; Sony Music Entertainment (Canada) Inc. has no stub (it is kept in Credits); case type is unknown. No pack photo was read.. Current is v2.
