| v1 | 2026-09-13 15:14 | @benjaminsen (bot) (discover, claude-opus-5) | Added **Broadway: The American Musical (5-CD box set)**, UPC 0827969289921, from the wanted list (old title "broadway the american musical pbs series"). - **Identity** confirmed by Discogs release 13949067 (barcode identifier 827969289921, 5 × CD box set, US, 2004-10-19, Columbia Broadway Masterworks / Legacy C5K 92899), MusicBrainz release defde543… (same barcode, 5 CDs, US, 2004-10-19) and Legacy Recordings' own release page (buy link carrying EAN 827969289921). No catalogue conflict. - **Release and Tracks**: all 106 tracks with artists and durations from Discogs; MusicBrainz agrees except 1-04 (2:27 vs 2:37, noted). Runtime 379.3 min is the sum of track durations. - **Credits**: labels, (p)/(c) Sony BMG Music Entertainment, manufactured by Columbia Records, compilation producers (including series director Michael Kantor), A&R, design, mastering, from Discogs. - **Markets**: US, from the Legacy Recordings page and a US eBay listing that prints the UPC (new, second-hand trade). - **Relations**: marketed_by and gs1_prefix_owner → company/sony-music-entertainment, both `derived` from the Discogs label parents; no source names the prefix registrant. - **Context**: Playbill (2004-10-19) for the PBS series (host Julie Andrews, director Michael Kantor) and its companion box set; Masterworks Broadway release page for the cast-recording source. - **New stubs**: brand/columbia-broadway-masterworks (imprint_of Sony Music Entertainment per Discogs; later merged into Masterworks Broadway per Wikipedia) and family/broadway-the-american-musical (the box set plus the single-disc sampler 0602498635360, per Discogs 3212425). - **Unresolved** (in research_gaps): catalogue number disputed (Discogs C5K 92899 vs MusicBrainz CK 92903); Playbill named Decca Broadway as co-label, the barcode's Discogs record does not; no licensed cover image; GS1 registrant unnamed; no current retail price (Amazon, B&N, Oldies.com, Dusty Groove refused server fetches). - The archived 2007 Barcodepedia page is cited for identity only; its "Produced in Italy" line is not used. | Diff |
