[Resolved] Quick 1.4.1 vs 1.4.4 Question For 12" w/ 2 Side A Labels?

I submitted Formats List definition.

Therefore, the question is whether my record qualify as a unique entry under RSG §1.4.1 or is it a manufacturing variation under RSG §1.4.4 that should be merged?

Comparatively, I understand that this is neither unique nor the first time someone has started a discussion about this. However, the previous staff posts on this are unsettled and, according to at least one thread, the preferred approach is:

Diognes_The_Fox
these things should be taken as a case by case basis if there's any question. Based on the information presented in those cases, that decision was reached.

If it helps, here are the two threads that I found to be most applicable to this release:
https://discogs.librosgratis.biz/forum/thread/412757 (long discussion)

For context, I submitted 7236116 mainly because I intended to list my copy for sale after I found a sealed non-messed up copy (hooray!), but did not want to offend the "Commenting on the differences between the item being sold and the one detailed on the Discogs release page is not permitted" seller policy. Therefore, the reason I am posting this to the advance database discussion section is because if my copy is a RSG §1.4.4 variation and not a RSG §1.4.1 unique version, then that seems to be in conflict with the marketplace guidelines, which of course are separate, but also interdependent (if that makes sense?) and therefore should be reconciled.

Thanks!

As I stated before, I don't feel any submission that has the same label on both sides is valid or unique and follows under manufacturing tolerance stuff.

Thanks Diognes_The_Fox —I saw that one too, but wanted to double check.

I understand the rationale (common sense approach says it's pretty unnecessary). However, for what it's worth, it fits awkwardly with the marketplace policy.
