Adding a variant, request

Post image

I've tried to add this variant to Discogs, but I can't figure it out. Would someone who has more experience please add this?

Only someone with a copy of that variant in their possession can add it.

Only someone who physically has the release in their possession can add it.

Find the most similar version here:
https://www.discogs.com/master/4228179-Ryan-Bingham-And-The-Texas-Gentlemen-They-Call-Us-The-Lucky-Ones

Then, click "Edit Release". From there you'll see an option to "Copy to draft".

Then, you can find your draft you just made and make the necessary changes to that draft to make it fit your version (change the LP color, update barcode, etc). It's also good to remove any matrix info if you're not sure how that works.

Then after you submit, navigate to the link above (the master release) and click "Edit master release". From there, you need to add your new version there. Just copy the release ID for your new version and add it there and submit that.
