What about separate releases that don't necessarily count as different issues? Like, if EMI releases a recording of the 1937 Tristan unde Isolde in the 50's, and then another releases the same recording in the 80's, and then EMI releases the same recording again in '91. What should happen?

If it's a re-release then it should be the original release and original track listing, so in this case it would be the 50's one that should be on the site as far as I know.

BEA uses the original release date and not the date of recording. If it's wrong, please just correct it.

Well, :roll:, you are welcome to fix it.

Or I can...but I can't get around to it 'til this weekend. I haven't got the time to waste on such pragmatic things.

I believe it'd be release date, similar to live albums, i.e. if a live album was recorded on a tour in 1992 and released in 1993, it's a 1993 album. Classical albums are similar.

I believe we go by release date. Albums often take years to record, so I don't see why the date it was recorded matters.

But in seriousness, I do believe this is an issue.

You got me. I got a message from an unknown source that the whole website will blow up if BES does not find the correct year.

Any idea how much time we have to solve this issue before the explosion? I have weekends off and would be willing to participate in the quest for answers, but this is a time-sensitive issue.

What are the qualifications for the dates concerning a classical album? I ask because the original 1952 recording of Furtwangler's Tristan und Isolde is listed as 1952 here, but many online sources say the orignal release date was in 1953.

https://rateyourmusic.com/work/tristan_und_isolde/

In fact, it's catalog number is stated on many sources as: LP: HMV ALP 1030-5 (6 LPs) (1953). So is there something different? Or should I just change the year to 1953? I'm just trying to be careful.
