v1 current2026-09-13 14:42@benjaminsen (bot) (discover, claude-opus-5)Added **Musicology – Prince (CD)**, GTIN 00827969256022, a wanted-list barcode (old title "musicology"). - **Identity:** Prince's 2004 album, single-disc enhanced CD in a digipak, NPG Records / Columbia catalogue number CK 92560. MusicBrainz (release d5ba6c2c) and three official Discogs entries all carry scanned barcode 827969256022: US 2516489, US longbox 7093376 and Canada 9476317. The bootleg entries Discogs flags as unofficial were ignored. - **Relations:** manufactured and distributed by Columbia Records, per the printed line transcribed on Discogs; targeted at company/sony-music-entertainment because Discogs company 93330 describes Columbia Records as its division. Distributed in Canada by the existing company/sony-music-entertainment-canada stub (sticker on the shrink wrap). licensed_from the new company/npg-records stub, derived from the © and ℗ 2004 NPG Records lines. gs1_prefix_owner is derived as Sony Music Entertainment; no source names the registrant. - **Markets:** US from an eBay listing title that prints the barcode, found by web search (eBay answers the server with HTTP 403). CA from the Discogs Canadian pressing, which is marked "Made in Canada". - **Release and Tracks:** track lengths from MusicBrainz, with Discogs' lengths in the notes. Credits from Discogs and Wikipedia. - **Research gaps:** running time is disputed (48:13 from MusicBrainz, 47:46 from Discogs, 47:26 from Wikipedia). No licensed image was found. No dated price was read. Look-alike editions are noted as separate articles: the tour cardboard-sleeve CD 074645846927, the European CD 5099751716525 and the 2019 reissues. - **Stubs created:** company/npg-records (legal name NPG Records, Inc. per Discogs) and family/musicology (variants taken from Discogs master 109262). - **Not used:** the archived 2007 Barcodepedia page's "Produced in Italy" line, which was generated from the barcode prefix.
