Patience – George Michael (cassette, Australia): version 1
Saved 2026-09-26 16:25 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the Australian cassette of George Michael's *Patience* (Aegean 5154024000, barcode 9399700116212). It completes a variant row on family/patience-george-michael-album. - **Identity:** Discogs release 25760533 transcribes this barcode. MusicBrainz has no release for it. - **Photos read:** the Discogs photos of the shell show the Epic logo, the Dolby mark, catalogue number 5154024000 and the side 1 / side 2 track split. - **Relations:** Discogs credits Sony Music Entertainment (Australia) Limited as label and manufacturer. That was the 1995–2005 name of company/sony-dadc-australia, so marketed_by and manufactured_by point there. licensed_to is SCA Music Holdings (UK), formerly Sony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd. The gs1_prefix_owner row for prefix 9399700 is derived. - **Markets:** AU, from the Discogs catalogue record. - **Gaps:** Amazon.com.au searches for the name, the artist and the barcode found only CD editions, no cassette; this is recorded in research_gaps. There is no licensed image (Discogs photos carry no licence), and no status or last_seen, because no source dates the end of production. . This is the current version.
