Cheers Oggy. Gee, I never even knew about that number on the reflective side. Its a bugger to read though! After a few attempts I found this:
http://www.kind-of-blue.de/seiten/disco/big_fun.htm
(Its a site called 'Kind Of Blue' and the album 'Big Fun' is correctly identified).
But what does this tell me, please, in terms of the remaster year?
Secondly, do you state the original (ie. first ever) remaster-year, or the remaster-year of the particular copy which you own?! Thanks, Paul

Hi again, Regarding 'Big Fun' (Miles), it appears that the FIRST CD was released in (Japan) 1987:
https://www.discogs.com/Miles-Davis-...elease/1384681
I am pretty sure the version I own is this (Europe):
https://www.discogs.com/Miles-Davis-...elease/3521630
Up to now I have been (in comments) stating the release-year of the actual version I own (assuming I have traced it down accurately). But I wondered if other users would, instead, state the ORIGINAL year? Thanks, Paul
Yup. I use the original year of release, whether it was on CD or LP, in the Year tag. If I were to feel it necessary to store the release year of a subsequent CD release, I would use your method. However, I am something of a minimalist in that I don't feel a need to store in a track file a lot of information others find important. On the odd occasion where I do want such info, I'll look it up online or go find the CD.
Cheers JH,
I use:
the original LP release date for YEAR (eg. 1968).
I use my own tag named RECORDED for the original recording session date.
And I use my own tag named REMASTERED for the YEAR in which my particular CD was released (eg. 1999);rather than stating the very first/original CD release date (eg. 1986). However, as I have mentioned, it is not always so easy to find answers to the latter-mentioned!
Thanks,
Paul

Back to good old choices, but I do as you do. I always use the original (vinyl) release date, for every version I may have.
If I have one version on CD, I would name it, Big Fun, even if it is a reissue / remaster, and not use any comment.
If I have two versions, I would name the original, Big Fun, and the reissue, Big Fun [Remaster], and put a year, or name in Comment, IF, I felt it necessary.
It's just my personal choice, even on The Beatles, I use:-
Revolver
Revolver [Mono]
Revolver [Remaster]
So I don't add the 2009, to the album name, as it's already obvious which, is which. I did put 2009 in Comments, but in all honesty, I know that, so for me, it is not necessary.
Choices!!!
Hi, if I continue to struggle to locate the actual remastered date copy of the CDs I own, then I may well just blow it out altogether; or else state the very FIRST release date that I can source (whether it be Japan, US, or Timbuktu). Paul

Thanks Oggy,
I clearly see your method, although I only ever rip ONE copy of a CD. If I own two copies of the same title, then I would just rip the one with the Bonus Track.
Perhaps I am giving myself too much donkey-work here. I mean, I would say a good 15 x mins is spent (per CD) sourcing the REMASTER date (of the CD version I own). If they stated it clearly in the liner notes then this would not be an issue. But I am damn running around like a headless chicken when I could be ripping! Unless, I just simply state the earliest REMASTER RELEASE DATE I can find.
Paul
... where would we be in all this without the aid of INTERNET!!!???
