This Release, which I'll call "Callas Complete disc 14", presently has two discIDs attached. I think one is misapplied, but I'm not sure yet. Here is what I found, in case it helps someone else take action. Or I'll get back to it.

  • discid 7eo7X_Y785lGlLUes3pe8VcB_8Q- corresponds to freedb id d90e9011, which has Artist "Bellini - T. Serafin - M. Callas - Coro E Orchestra Del Teatro Alla Scala, Milano" and year "1954". This doesn't sound like the person typing it was thinking about "Complete Callas disc 14". I'm guessing the freedb entry corresponds to a CD remaster of the original 1954 recording (a Release which appears not to be in MB).
  • discid CRnzd1GTzv600r4TukjyxjAOySQ- corresponds to freedb id ec0ea811, and there are no such entries. I'm guessing this is the correct discID for "Callas Complete disc 14". This is, by the way, a different remaster of the 1954 recording.

My theory is that these discIDs are for two different remasters of the same original 1954 LP recording. Thus they have the same number of tracks and very similar track times. That makes them easy to confuse.
