Discogs Donnybrook

well, another brou-ha- ha at Discogs over data entry of the radio staion premium. I had maintained that the Premiums were Not Bootlegs and shou dnot be labeled as Unofficial Release or Unauthorised Release. Assumed some sort of permission was given by the artists or their agents. (well ok that was naive). Premiums were given to ppl who had donated to the station, after the fact, and were marked Not For Sale. They were not sold at the point thet they were released. Later, of course, as used items, they get sold any old place, as would a WCBS Compilation or any other record, CD or CDR... or cassette. Eventually decided to avoid Discogs in order not to to sow confusion.* Really, just avoiding adding any more of these to the database. No more in the mix. *Pity, since the mission of discogs, apparently was to help eliminate confusion.
