Patience – George Michael (cassette, China): version 1
Saved 2026-09-26 16:26 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the Chinese cassette of George Michael's *Patience* (Aegean 515402 7, barcode 9787799415260). It completes a variant row on family/patience-george-michael-album. - **Identity:** Discogs release 13035411 transcribes the barcode in text and scanned form. Its J-card photos show ISBN 7-7994-1526-6 printed above the barcode; this is a Bookland 978 number, so there is no GS1 prefix owner. - **Tracks:** 12 tracks per Discogs and the photographed J-card. "Shoot the Dog" and "Freeek! '04" are absent. - **Relations:** licensed_to SCA Music Holdings (UK), formerly Sony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd. - **Markets:** CN, from the Discogs catalogue record. - **Gaps:** - The Chinese audio-visual publisher and distributor in the small print are illegible at 300 px, and web sources tie ISBN group 7-7994 to conflicting publishers, so no company is named. - Amazon.com and Amazon.co.jp were searched (name + cassette, name, barcode) and list only CDs. - There is no licensed image. . This is the current version.
