- Discogs 487769, German CD, Album supported · Compare evidence
Carries the barcode twice, as Text "4 006030 602425" and as Scanned, with format Album and no unofficial-release flag. Source of the catalogue numbers, matrix, SID codes, pressing plant and track times
- MusicBrainz release d051ab7a supported · Compare evidence
Independent of Discogs and agrees with it on country, date, label, catalogue number, format and the eleven-track running order. The barcode query returns this release alone
- Wikipedia album infobox unconfirmed · Compare evidence
Gives the release date, the Dynamica catalogue number, the producer and a length of 58:31, but cites Barcodepedia itself for both barcodes, so it cannot corroborate the numbers

About this product
Ashtrayhead is the only album by the English industrial group Ashtrayhead, a side project of Cubanate's Marc Heal recorded with Si Rapley and John Simonds, and this barcode is its European CD, issued by the Berlin label Dynamica on 21 April 1997 under catalogue number DY 0024-2 with label code LC 5301.[2][3][4] Unusually for a shared album title, the barcode identifies exactly one release: queried by barcode, MusicBrainz returns a single German release of that date on Dynamica, and it agrees with Discogs on label, catalogue number, format and the eleven-track running order.[1] Wikidata records the same album with Dynamica as its label.[5] The disc was pressed by the French plant MPO, whose initials appear in the runout beside the mastering and mould SID codes.[3][6][7]
More about this product
Dynamica was founded in 1993 as a sublabel of Machinery, and both belonged to Modern Music Records GmbH, Karl-Ulrich Walterbach's Berlin company; when Modern Music was sold to the Sanctuary Records Group in 2001 both imprints were dropped, which is why the disc now circulates second-hand.[4][8][9][10] The American edition, released by Invisible Records in May 1997 with catalogue number INV089CD, carries a different barcode and is recorded here as a separate article rather than as another code for this one.[11]
This review confirmed the entry rather than replacing it: every catalogue, register and encyclopaedia source was re-read and none contradicted what the page already said. Two things were corrected. A European market row was removed, because the source behind it described where the album was released rather than showing this barcode on sale. And Wikipedia's infobox, which supplies the release date, the catalogue number and the producer, turns out to cite Barcodepedia itself for both barcodes, so it is recorded as unable to corroborate the numbers it appears to support.[2]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Release details: 5 / 5 · Profile fields recorded: artists, label, media, released, catalogue_number. Missing fields may require research or an applicability note.
- tracks evidence: 11 / 11 · Recorded rows linked to source evidence; does not measure whether the list is complete
- Context: 3 / 4 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 3 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 0 / 7 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- evidence · disputed: Wikipedia's infobox cites barcodepedia.com for both this barcode and the American one. That is a circular citation back to this site, so the article corroborates the date, catalogue number and producer but not the barcodes themselves
- identity · disputed: Three running times circulate: Wikipedia states 58:31, the Discogs track durations sum to a slightly different figure, and Release records 58.52 minutes, which is 58:31 expressed in decimal minutes rather than a separate measurement
- markets · unknown: The European release territory named by Wikipedia was removed from Markets: it describes where the album came out rather than showing this barcode on sale, and no listing outside Germany prints the number
- media · unknown: No licensed photograph of this pack exists. Discogs sleeve scans are copyrighted, so nothing here is transcribed from an image
- markets · stale: The label was dropped in 2001 and the disc appears only second-hand, so no dated retail price could be recorded; the marketplace listing is a live offer rather than a priced sighting of this exact barcode
