Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

So how do you log single records taken out from a box set in your collection?

To be specific, I got a PIF of Grateful Dead "Reckoning" that was in the VMP Anthology. I want to add it to my collection.

Guess I could just add another pressing and write a note for myself, but my sense of order doesn't like that.

This or add the full set and make a note.

Separated releases like this aren't allowed to be submissions on their own.

I add the set and make a note. Messes with the value of your collection a bit but one-offs like that won't do my damage.

If the LP was ever released on its own (as Reckoning has been), I tend to just log it as whichever of those releases seems closest in terms of artwork and value to the one I own from the set and then I just put in a note that I have a different version from the set. That way I can at least see the right album art when I’m scrolling through my collection in discogs and I find it less confusing that way.

This is what I ended up doing. The closest release is actually quite valuable in it's own right (turns out the only other modern reissue is an Analogue Productions), but it's still closer in value than the entire VMP box, and I like to see the correct album cover image when I scan through my collection. I already have a few added fields in my collection, including a notes field so I added a memo to myself there.

Yeah, I remember logging the Blue Note Anthology for the copy of Lou Donaldson’s The Natural Soul. When I would scroll through my collection and come across the “The Story of Blue Note,” I’d have to try to remember which album I got from there - it was always kind of jarring. Or, I’d go looking for my notes for that album and forget that I needed to look up the set, instead of the actual artist name and album name.
 
@GentleSenator Sorry about jacking up the notes on the Grinderman release. I thought all the Newbury comic stuff seems weird. I picked up new at my local record store so I am not sure if at one time it was exclusive to Newbury but it isn't any longer. and those "limited" numbers quoted by them just don't jive with the amount of people who currently have it listed as part of their collection 1250 total according to the Newbury Comics note and 2041 currently listed in users collections. Should another release be added or a note stating that the album was limited but is now widely available? I just seems like the original note isn't applicable. I am gonna defer to you as you are much more knowledgeable on the ways of Discogs than. I am more curious than anything.
 
Alright all...what do you do when a package you mailed out seems to be MIA and hasn’t been tracked since April 2? Buyer hasn’t mentioned anything yet though
 
Generally agreed with MFMD, if it's media mail I might give it a few more days as they'll probably send the "it's media mail and we use a 1959 Ford Edsel to get these across the country so buzz off" message if you email too soon.

(no I'm not at 3 months of a missing package via USPS at this point or anything...)

USPS wont do anything until 30 days anyway. If you sent priority, remember that it comes with 100$ of included insurance.
