House of Flying Daggers (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) CD: version 1
Saved 2026-09-26 09:44 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the European CD of *House of Flying Daggers (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)* (Sony Classical / Sony Music Soundtrax SK 93561, barcode 5099709356124). This completes a variant named by family/house-of-flying-daggers-original-motion-picture-soundtrack. - **Identity:** Two Discogs entries carry this barcode: release 4024604 (Austria, with two matrix/SID variants, the Sony BMG distributor credit and the ℗/© lines) and release 24768455 (Europe, which matches variant 2). Both are recorded on one edition observation. - **Digital album:** Qobuz keys the digital album to the same barcode (released 2004-11-15, 49:37, ℗ 2004 Sony BMG), so it is a second edition observation. - **Tracks:** 20 tracks from Discogs. Track 13 uses 2:01 from Qobuz and Wikipedia instead of Discogs' 1:29, recorded as a disputed gap. - **Markets:** GB is sourced from Europadisc, which prints the barcode, gives the UK release date 6 Dec 2004 and marks the CD deleted. It is also derived from Amazon.co.uk ASIN B0006BLHC8 (Sony Classical label, no barcode printed, GBP 14.98 from a third-party new seller, observed 2026-09-26). - **Relations:** distributed_by is Sony BMG Music Entertainment (sourced, Discogs). gs1_prefix_owner is set to the same company as derived (prefix 5099709, GS1 UK range). - **Gaps:** the exact release date (only the year is recorded), the pressing plant behind IFPI 945B/948A, and no licensed cover image. . This is the current version.
