Sony Music Entertainment imprint
Columbia is one of Sony Music’s four flagship labels
Sony Music Entertainment owns
columbiarecords.com states that COLUMBIA and the "Walking Eye" design are registered trademarks of Sony Music Entertainment; Sony bought the CBS Records Group, Columbia included, in 1988

Built from the ownership rows on the brand and company pages, each cited where it is recorded. Made in is the country of production on this product's record; the GS1 prefix of a barcode names the issuing organisation, not where the product was made.

About this product

Mezmerize is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band System of a Down, released on 17 May 2005 by American Recordings and Columbia Records.[2] This barcode is the limited-edition UK picture-disc LP, catalogue number COL 519000 1, issued on Columbia in 2005; Discogs lists it as a one-disc picture disc in a regular LP jacket with a thin-card lyric inner sleeve.[1] Its eleven tracks, opening with "Soldier Side (intro)" and "B.Y.O.B.", were produced by Daron Malakian and Rick Rubin and mixed by Andy Wallace.[2][3] The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 453,000 copies and was later certified double platinum.[2]

The picture disc was pressed by GZ Digital Media (plant code 61235E), with runout groups that are part laser-etched and part hand-etched.[1] Its phonographic-copyright line reads "℗ 2005 Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. With American Recordings, LLC", Columbia being Sony Music Entertainment's imprint.[1] The album's artwork is by Vartan Malakian, father of guitarist Daron Malakian, and Mezmerize forms a two-part release with Hypnotize, issued later in 2005.[2] Discogs and MusicBrainz record parallel CD, cassette and picture-disc editions across the Americas, Europe, Russia, Japan and Australia under other catalogue numbers.[3][1]
