SRCL-3396: EQUAL / OSAMU SATO

[dissident93]

This was a mess to categorize. It has a few songs from Chu-Teng (rare Mac game by Osamu Sato) and a remix from Eastern Mind, but the rest I believe are original compositions. I also found some conflicting info on the release date, but I found some ParisDJ's post that was posted on October 13, 1995, so I chose that year.

Oh, THIS is the Chu-Teng everyone talks about. I didn't even think it was by the Eastern Mind/LSD guy. That it's meant to be a sequel to Eastern Mind has got me relatively hype. I think someone got ahold of it at some point...

[dissident93]

yea, somebody on 4chan I think got a hold of the game and released it recently. Osamu Sato is one eccentric guy, even by japanese standards haha

what are you doing man?
a sony records release can't be in EUR, how many times should I edit it for you to understand you make it wrong?

[Phonograph]

plus you submitted an ean code for UK with a price in EUR (it can't exist)
just add it as child album

[dissident93]

ok it looks like I was confused. this is the European release, published by S3.

[Phonograph]

so add it as a child album if it's the same printing
but I don't know about the european release if it's earlier to the japanese one

[dissident93]

I don't normally add albums, so forgive me if I did something wrong.

but it seems the Japanese release has 3 less songs, so wouldn't that make it a seperate entry?

[Phonograph]

yup but why did you change the date?
all shops have oct 21, 1995

[Phonograph]

also, please don't touch the japanese SRCL-3396 anymore
1996 must be for the european version

[dissident93]

ok well i'm going to let you handle it then. unless i'm reading it wrong, 1995 was the original release (vinyl promo), and this cd is the European release that came out a year later with three extra tracks. this stuff isn't well documented and i'm getting all the info from discogs.com so it's probably all wrong in the first place.

ugh

[Phonograph]

no, SRCL-3396 is japanese for sony records, it has nothing to have with the rest of the world
afterwards, that release could get a european release under another label (probably by a european subsidiary of sony music entertainment --without japan)
