Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

[LeeVing]

Test pressings are a bit tricky since there really isn't much information on a release to use.

I think you should be fine with using Columbia as one main label since they are owned by Sony. Or just stick with Sony. VMP could be added as a 2nd label and both should use their respective cat #s on that sticker.

Most other credits and companies should be removed.

The few test pressings I've entered are pretty sparce with data.

Can you post the link to your draft?

Did you get both disks for that one? Or just one of the mixes?

The VMP only has the Iggy mix on it. It's the RKS cut. The KG cut has both discs/versions on it but I surprisingly liked the RKS better.

Let me know if this works!

I did one for Barbara Lea and someone commented that I needed to remove a ton of credits...I guess maybe since there is no sleeve, you shouldn't include writing credits, etc that are on the full VMP release?

Looks fine to me. And yeah, credits that aren't on the release shouldn't be added. There's always the [Uncredited] thing, but I'm really not a fan of using that too often, and since it doesn't work for the LCCN, it's only for artist credits.

Is it Radiohead adjacent in any way? They’ve used w.a.s.t.e. for their fan club during the bends era.

The site is still W.A.S.T.E. headquarters

AG (and Radiohead)* are now confirmed post-modern book nerds of the highest order.

*(and me, because I seriously considered a tattoo of a w.a.s.t.e. postage stamp, in my wild and reckless nerdier salad days. Yes, a book tattoo, Dottie. I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel.)

anyone having issues with checkout using paypal on their seller accounts?

Have a verified paypal account linked to a seller account and buyers are unable to pay. Discogs customer support is non-existent. Curious if anyone has had this issue

I have had issues but it's been awhile and they said it had been corrected. No issues since. I've found they're somewhat responsive when you log a ticket https://support.discogs.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Also an issue I saw a long long time ago that seems to have been since fixed, but admittedly I haven't done a spot check lately.

I had this issue. To fix it, I went to buyer settings, payment info and unlinked my PayPal account. Then, I went to PayPal, settings, data and privacy, permissions given and removed discogs. Then I went back to discogs, buyer settings and readded PayPal under payment info.

Hope it works for you!
