System of a Down – Mezmerize (CD, COL 519000 2): version 1
Saved 2026-09-26 13:53 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the European CD edition of System of a Down – Mezmerize (COL 519000 2, barcode 5099751900023), completing a variant row on family/mezmerize. - Identity, release date (GB, 2005-05-16), catalogue number and track list with durations from MusicBrainz release fe79d012 (CC0). - Packaging, pressing details (Made in Austria, LC 00162, Sony DADC matrix), © / ℗ Sony BMG Music Entertainment and credits from Discogs release 479430; a second, non-embossed pressing under the same barcode (Discogs 5047572, "Made in the EU", © Sony Music Entertainment) kept as its own observation. - Markets: GB (MusicBrainz; On Repeat listing printing the barcode at GBP 11.99; Amazon.co.uk B000683IMI at GBP 10.19), EU (Discogs release country) and Amazon B000683IMI listings on .de, .fr, .it, .es, .nl, .se, .pl, .com.be and .ie, all derived by the matching manufacturer reference 5190002 since no page prints the barcode; prices left blank where the buy box and format selector disagreed. - gs1_prefix_owner derived to Sony BMG Music Entertainment (prefix 5099751, the copyright holder printed on the pack); no source names the prefix licensee. - Cover requested from Cover Art Archive (musicbrainz_images). Gap: Amazon UK names Epic / 2010 as label/date, so which pressing it ships is unstated. . Current is v2.
