MICA-0174: Silent Hill Original Soundtracks (reprint)

[Fearin]

Any proof for the date change?

who cares, it's just fucking bootleg
if it were me, I'll forbid that shit to be in the db (I disabled the view of bootlegs long ago)

I really don't care either, was just updating the musicbrainz with whatever info, and since it is peer reviewed like here they ask for proof. Thus the asking, plus people like to have as close to accurate data as possible.

Miya Records registered his mark on 2003, it probably starts to bootleg cds from last months of 2003 or from 2004.
The first MICA release (Refrain of Evangelion) has the original japanese counterpart release on July 2003 so probably MICA bootleg it some months after or at the beginning of 2004. MICA albums don't provide any date release so we can speculate the exact date but I've made comparison and I find that MICA-0136 is the early cd on our database with its original japanese release from 2004 so next albums were released from 2004, that's why I put Silent Hill around 2004 like date relase. Obviously it hasn't been relase on 1999. I've used the same deduction method to catalogue date of other bootleg companies, first release with a suffix and it's original japanese press more date marks on the label if available. SonMay has some release with exact date for example, Miya and Everanime not, but this is the best method to catalogue them. There were bootlegs on this database catalogued on the last '80 when the fist company SonMay starts from 1990/91, obvious inconsistencies.

Thank you depa, I was trying to use archive.org to figure when they added it to their website. However that assumes that they need a website to sell and not have it previously only released in their country and then move it onto the web.

Anyways thanks for the explanation.

I'm using archive.org it seems now they add MICA-0087 like first album on February 2004, the last album added on 2003 was MICA-0049.
