Patience – George Michael (CD, South Africa): version 1
Saved 2026-09-26 16:23 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the South African CD of George Michael's *Patience* (Aegean CDEPC 6802, barcode 6007689673833). It completes a variant row on family/patience-george-michael-album. - **Identity:** the MusicBrainz release 3e8a5706 and Discogs release 7166996 both carry this barcode. The back-inlay photo on Cover Art Archive shows it too. - **Relations (printed):** the back inlay says "Marketed & distributed by Sony Music South Africa". The disc says "Manufactured by CDT", which is company/compact-disc-technologies. The licence line is "© 2004 G.K. Panayiotou under exclusive licence to Sony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd.", now SCA Music Holdings (UK) per Companies House. The gs1_prefix_owner row is derived and points to the existing inferred holder of prefix 6007689. - **Tracks:** 14 tracks from MusicBrainz, with the Discogs lengths in the notes. Track 13 "Through" is 4:55 on MusicBrainz and 5:22 on Discogs. - **Markets:** ZA from the South African Memorabilia Store (store.mcoza.com). It lists a used copy with SKU 6007689673833 for USD 20.00, one in stock. Status is discontinued, because the shop describes the CD as out of print. - **Gaps:** Amazon.co.za could not be searched directly (bot challenge). Web searches restricted to that site found no listing, and this is recorded in research_gaps. Matrix and SID codes are not transcribed anywhere. - **Images:** front cover requested through musicbrainz_images. . Current is v2.
