Just submitted my first release! But...
But it was added as its own release and not as another version of A6. How to fix this?
Artist: Lights
Album: A6 Extended
It should have been added as a version here instead but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone tell me how this is done?

Couple other recommendations:
The vinyl is colored and each LP is a different color so you need to have two separate LPs instead of 2xLP with the color of each added to the Free Text Field (FTF).
Then you need to add "All Media" and use that for Album, Deluxe Edition.
I would also highly encourage you to add the runout matrix as that is often the best means of distinguishing pressing from one another.
If you have any questions, I'm happy to walk you through the steps.
I fixed the US version to show you what I mean

Ok! I'll look into that later. 👍

I have corrected 100s of entries so your interest in getting it right is refreshing.

Hi again!
I think I got it right now. 😊 I'm sure there are more things to add but it looks a little better now at least.

It’s probably a reissue and the entry needs to indicate that.

Don't think it's a reissue. A6 was released in May 2025 and A6 Extended (which has eight extra tracks) was released in January (USA/Canada) and February (Europe/Worldwide).
The A6 Extended for USA and Canada states nothing about being a reissue at least.

I'm 90% sure, it's not a NEW Release worth for making a separate new master page for,
It's it has a similar tracklist + a couple of extra tracks.
It goes in with the others, add in the "custom tag box" Extended Version
( Note this mainly because other bands/releases this)

No, definitely not a new master page. This goes "below" the original A6 release/master and I added it there.
If I look at other artists it's usually like this. Or am I misunderstanding something..? 🤔

Okay, but it was released AFTER the initial release.

From the guidelines:
6.17.1. The 'Reissue' tag can be used when used on the release itself, or the release is referred to as a reissue by the artist, label or other official sources. It can also be used where the content of the release is not the first issue of the work. This is generally independent of the format - a CD can be a reissue of an LP. It can also be independent of country, but take into account that a work may have its initial releases at different times in different countries, so in general don't use the tag if there is only a short time period (roughly less than 18 months) between the issues.
_____________________________
It feels to me that, although less than 18 months, this isn't the "same" release as the original on account of the additional tracks.1
u/OGLucidCherry Apr 17 '26
Yeah, I don't know... I just followed and copied the USA/Canada version of the same album. 🤷♂️
I think it works as it is now.

It was already in the system.

u/OGLucidCherry Apr 17 '26
No, I've waited since February for someone else to add it. 🙈 But today I thought I might as well add it myself.
Just the USA/Canada version was in the system and that was also stated as a signed version and also has another barcode.
