I have no idea how they did that, but I noticed that in a lot of Label pages (mostly Publishers), the releases are shown twice!!
And I mean exactly the same one...
Good example: Son Rol Music
You would think that there are 2 different releases under that title, but they are the same!
Sometimes 4 or 6 and after checking it concerns only 2 or 3 releases.
With all those BUGS; It couldn't get any crazier, one would think.....Suprise! It can!!
One clicks his fingers to the bone to check all those releases and they are basically the same.. !
Shame on those developers that can't get their act straight.
This should be fixed ASAP, because there is NO way to by this problem and it's unworkable!
So Diognes_The_Fox what are you/they going to do about this, again!, annoying problem???

Son Rol Music
On label pages, releases are now listed by each catalogue number that appears on the release. That means that if there is more than one catalogue number on a release, it will be listed more than once – once for each of those catalogue numbers.
This was introduced intentionally, in response to complaints that it was sometimes hard to find a release on the label page because it was listed only under whichever catalogue number the person who submitted it had decided to enter first. It might not be a great result display-wise, but it is a feature rather than a bug.
The bug is that every string entered in to the catalogue number field in LCCN in a submission produces an entry on the page for every label/company entered in LCCN on that submission. For instance, if the pressing plant used an identifiable job number that is entered into LCCN, that pressing plant job number appears on the label's page, and the label's catalogue number(s) appear on the pressing plant's page in addition to its own job number.

Is that really the case? A quick check on the Publishers page of Son Rol Music I found this p.e.
On the first 4 versions of "Next Album" and the next 2, there is only 1 Cat #, but they are mentioned twice!
My own version of "That's What I Do" is displayed 3 ! times, with only 1 Cat #....
That goes for all of them listed under that Label. Only the releases that are, apparently, the only one in the MR that have this Label credited, are displayed only once....
So, an 'asked for' feature? No a BUG!
Or do I miss something?
I noticed this same display bug about a week or two ago. Thanks for reporting it.
For example, label Revamp (2) has a master release for Karol - Blue Sky with 15 releases under it, but in fact it should only have two releases under the master. All the other ones are duplicates with same release IDs. Also one of the releases; MP3, 320 kbps version; is shown to be outside of the master release even thought it's properly listed under it.
I noticed that too. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's the same , globalgroove.co.uk, that added both singles?
After all it happens the same way with a few of my submissions that I've added recently....Or is that too far stretched and it is another BUG?
I've noticed too that after you click on the first submission in question, the text turns pink instead of blue (like it used too) and so does the duplicate!
This is not a feature Diognes_The_Fox, but a major BUG! Please, communicate when this will be fixed.
Think i have come across this problem as well. I edited an release on Inner Circle as the catalogue numbers were out compared with the Radiant Records website..Anyway it ends up with 2 listings for the same release with different cat no. But both link to the same release with the edited number.
So is it a bug ?
FredBas
So, you do agree that it is a BUG and not a 'feature' where some s has asked for?
Yes, this is a bug. When you started the thread I thought you were talking about something else – releases appearing more than once on label pages when there is more than one catalogue number entered in the LCCN – which is a feature.
FredBas
BUG should be fixed, asap! But that is, most certain, wishful thinking.....
Still NOTHING!!!!
Shame on Management and the developers!
And more and more contributors are g off....
Wondering why Diognes_The_Fox???
Please, communicate about this with us!!!! How difficult can that be?

I have largely reduced my activities to improve the database.
I'm sure you're not the only one...!
I know that s have closed their s or just left, because of the many, many BUGS that doesn't seem to get fixed.
This site is unworkable at the moment.
And, again: not to be disrespectful, there seems not many priority given to fix them either. Not to mention the fact that there is no communication about the progress, whatsoever.
So, it's not strange that s are getting frustrated and want to have/expect answers!
For whatever unknown reason, Discogs simply does not like interacting with their base. It truly is bizarre, but it's how this place is. Diognes maybe the last Discogs emplyee that even bothers interacting with s.

I got some updates, it sounds like the end is in sight. Apologies for my post here last week.
This is a multi-phase project. The final phase should knock out the issue with items remaining on pages after being edited away from them. That's still a few months out, though, from what I understand (which is ittedly very little).
That's bad, that's not good at all !
Seems they are creating more errors instead of fixing them....
Strangely enough: if I activate the MR (see all versions) from a submission...it does show all 16 versions/the complete MR.

F56Only one entry appears in MR:

That's a misunderstanding. The MR also shows 16 entries for me (I had filtered). I thought you meant Sonny Rollins - Dancing In The Dark is displayed twice....
