datawebotInterscope Records product data: artists, releases and editions
Guide to Interscope artist, album, pressing and store-product data: vinyl formats, editions, variants and offer context, plus UMG's posted terms on reuse. No catalog-access claim.
An artist page, a music release and a store item are different records
Interscope.com brings together label and artist references with a webstore. UMG's Terms of Sale identify UMG Commercial Services, Inc. as the service provider for that webstore and say that only the webstore is controlled by UMG. Keep the page object clear before adding data: an artist reference is not an album, a pressing or a purchase listing, and a store listing does not by itself prove current artist affiliation or catalog ownership.

| Record type | What belongs here | Keep separate from |
|---|---|---|
| Artist or label reference | Name, official profile URL and source-stated biography or affiliation, if relevant. | A complete roster, a record contract or rights ownership unless the source expressly establishes it. |
| Musical work | Album or soundtrack title, creator credits and track relationships when published. | A particular physical edition, store price or currently available item. |
| Release or pressing | Format, edition, pressing/reissue details and source-stated release information. | The work's original issue date and the date of a later store pressing. |
| Store product | Store product URL, title, selected format/variant and the exact labels shown on that page. | The underlying work or another pressing of the same album. |
| Order or receipt | Purchase and fulfillment events from an authorized transaction record. | Public artist pages or product listings; do not bring customer account data into a product catalog. |
Join the album to a specific release and pressing, not by title alone
One album title can refer to a musical work, a digital release, an original physical edition, a later remaster and multiple store products. A reliable catalog keeps those levels linked without merging them. Use a source-provided identifier or page URL as the observed key; do not invent a UPC, SKU, label code or rights relationship when the page does not supply it.

| Entity | Fields to preserve when stated | Join rule |
|---|---|---|
| Artist | Displayed artist name and official artist-page URL. | Keep featured or credited artists distinct from the seller and label named for a release. |
| Work or recording | Album/work title, track titles and track-to-side order if published. | A work can have several releases and formats; title matching alone is not a unique identifier. |
| Release | Edition name, format, label/imprint, release/reissue date and country/market only when shown. | Do not substitute the work's original release year for a pressing or reissue date. |
| Pressing or variant | Disc count, color, weight, picture-disc, packaging, numbering or signed/exclusive details when stated. | Different pressing details identify a distinct edition or option, even when the album is the same. |
| Store listing | Product URL or displayed item ID, selected variant, market and observation date. | Keep each listing and variant attached to its edition; do not assume a public SKU, barcode or catalog feed exists. |
Model music formats and edition details as separate dimensions
A format describes how the music is supplied; an edition describes which release or pressing the store offers. UMG's Terms describe physical products, digital downloads, streaming and subscription services as different store offerings. Within physical music, the listed disc count, size, color, mastering, package and limited-edition attributes can distinguish pressings. Record only details actually stated on the source page, and avoid copying full descriptions or tracklists into a commercial catalog without the required rights.

| Dimension | Examples of source-stated values | Data decision |
|---|---|---|
| Product format | Vinyl LP or single, CD, cassette, digital download, stream or subscription where offered. | Do not treat digital access and a physical item as interchangeable products. |
| Disc configuration | 1LP, 2LP, 3LP, 7-inch, box set or other displayed configuration. | Preserve the exact count and format; a title may describe a standard and deluxe edition. |
| Pressing and package | Color/finish, weight, picture disc, mastering/pressing note, jacket and included components. | Store source-stated terms and keep undisclosed details null; do not infer sound or quality claims. |
| Edition marker | Exclusive, first pressing, numbered, signed, limited edition or member-only wording when shown. | Record the exact badge/text and context; an edition label is not a stock count or ownership claim. |
| Track information | Track titles and side order if the page publishes them. | Treat tracklists as release content with separate reuse rights; a product page is not blanket permission to reproduce it. |
Keep price, market, member access and order state attached to an observation
Store listings can vary by product option, country, promotion or membership. Capture the displayed offer as a time-bound observation rather than as a permanent fact about the album. UMG's posted Terms say only variants listed in the webstore are available; limited-edition and preorder delivery dates are not guaranteed unless stated, and limited-edition products are not returnable or exchangeable. These are purchase terms, not an inventory feed or a delivery estimate for a particular order.

| Observation | Fields to keep | Do not infer |
|---|---|---|
| Market and option | Country/store context, format, color/edition option and observation time. | A product's availability or price in other countries or for other variants. |
| Price | Displayed amount, currency, sale label, membership condition and time seen. | A universal price, checkout total, future discount or resale value. |
| Availability label | Exact listed state such as sold out, limited, preorder or member access, if displayed. | An exact remaining quantity, restock date or order acceptance guarantee. |
| Preorder or limited edition | The source's wording, stated date/window and applicable Terms version. | A guaranteed shipping/delivery date or a right to return a limited-edition item. |
| Transaction outcome | Order and receipt facts only from an authorized order record. | A purchase, customer identity or fulfillment result from a public product page. |
Read UMG's store terms before commercial catalog reuse
The Interscope webstore Terms of Sale shown during this review were last updated November 20, 2024. Section III says the store and its Content are for personal, non-commercial use unless otherwise specified and requires UMG's express written agreement for use, transfer, copying, reproduction or modification of the store, Services, Content or source HTML outside permitted viewing/use. Section IV separately prohibits commercial exploitation of store information/material and describes screen/database scraping or spidering in the context of obtaining user lists or other information. Follow the posted terms and obtain written authorization for any commercial catalog use; do not read the user-list clause as either a blanket bot prohibition or a grant of permission for other automated access.
