Re: Add new release event or not

(P) and (C) 1999, that's all. No printing date. Second hand, so no wrapping with a sticker which could help. I bought a second second hand CD from the same seller, from 1995, and this CD is in much worse shape, the booklet has obsiously been manipulated, the paper has gone yellow near the borders and so on.

BUT I found this http://www.chapitre.com/CHAPITRE/fr/MUSIC/trio-esperanca/nosso-mundo,371866.aspx , where the "Détails" field contains my barcode.  So I guess we can consider that this an original release :-) I am going to edit my edits.

You said your release appears to be much newer than something that was
released in 1999 and so I guess there is no date on the packaging.
You could try looking up the barcode to see if any online stores
mention a release date for your version.

Still would go with a separate release event until you know for sure
that your version is the same as the existing release event.
