At this point ADA acts like Warner Records (I;m talking about Mike stuff), the audio files were just registered over the label's UPC and ISRC codes, but the distributor was WMG. I have check some stuff from other labels that belong to WMG, and always as a distributor was mentioned WMG as a name or as a distributor identifier, like I said in the previous post. So based on that it means other labels register the album over their codes but at the very end WMG is the one who deliver those files to digital platforms. I never was thinking that it might be some sort of illegal release. My first thought was, since it was released through DistroKid then it mean that a private person released that not a big label.

DistroKid is a distributor the same like TuneCore where for example me myself if I want to release music, I could use TuneCore or DistroKid. You just pay once per a year and those distributors will deliver your music to digital platforms. When preparing the album for release in both you can provide all the info about your album including the name of the label, which will be displayed next to your album on digital platforms. I'm interesting if Mike was the one who use DistroKid to release Ziggurats. // Something that I noticed and didn't know is that a single song in a release can also have a GRID code. For example if we take an Expanded Edition of From Zero, those are 3 bonus tracks from the edition and their ISRC codes: and those are the GRID codes for them: Or: those ones for the songs 04-14 from Lost Demos Maybe it would be nice to have the GRID code for each song on the site but, I'm not planning that simply because there is no way I can get all of them.

Thank You, for the info! So is that means that a private person could release Ziggurats or even Mike himself by using a DistroKid?

I have a hard question, maybe someone will know the answer or at least a hint for it. But before I ask my question, I want to explain something first. We know that any LP stuff is released by a label "Warner Records" which is a big label that belongs to one of the biggest labels at all - "Warner Music Group". When Mike in 2020 decided that he wanted to release his songs that he made live on digital platforms, someone suggested to releasing those with ADA label. ADA (Alternative Distribution Alliance) label, which just like "Wrner Records" belongs to "Warner Music Group". By that label all stuff from Mike's live stream were released, including all DF albums, all single songs (stand alone releases), OD remix releases, the "Sleep For Students" release and OD music video. I think one of the main reasons they decided to go with ADA is that you can put anything (theoretically) as a label name that will be displayed on digital platforms, so they did go with the "Kenji Kobayashi Productions". Now what we can notice at first place is when a song or album is released by a different label than "Warner Records". The very first thing that can suggest a different label will be a barcode, the tipicall Warner release will have a barcode that starts from 075 or 093 or 054 - depending on what kind of release it is. The second thing is the ISRC codes, if a song or video was registered by "Warner Records" label the ISRC code will start with "USWB...", all songs released by ADA have codes that start as "ZZOPM...". Also, something that we can notice when a release is by a different label is the availability of that release on digital platforms, the one released by a different label might be available on fewer digital platforms than the one released by "Warner Records". So any release by Linkin Park and, for example, Mike's Dropped Frames, was released by two different labels owned by WMG. But there is also something else that is the same for both - "Warner Music Group" is a distributor for all stuff from LP/FM/DBS/MS including Dropped Frames releases, Sleep For Students or OD music video. We know that from the distributor identifier ("PADPIDA2007050901U") which is attached to releases, and we also might know that from the GRID codes, which the issuer part of the code (first 5 characters after A1) is "0302B" which belongs to "Warner Music Group". For example: Here are the GRID codes for all above releases: A10302B00055540126 A10302B0005395359A A10302B0005364954A A10302B0005341405G You will find the GRID code of any LP/FM/DBS/MS releases on my site when you export info to TXT file. I don't have the GRIDs for all releases, if the TXT file doesn't have it, it means I don't have it. And now my question is what label did release the "Ziggurats" both releases? My arguments are that both releases are available on fewer digital platforms than all "Dropped Frames". And all songs have completely different ISRC codes than songs on "Dropped Frames". Both arguments would suggest a different label.

Very small update post right now. Added: For some reason all previous releases of the album/single containing the song Cross Off with Chester was removed and new releases of the album/single were released. The only difference in those new releases is barcode of them (the song codes are the same) and that the album is available in Hi-Res 24-bit/44.1kHz for the first time. But those new releases are very restricted in terms of on how many digital platforms they are, the old releases were on 7digital and few more, the new are literally only in few digital platforms. I have no idea since when those new releases were available, I found only the info that they maybe were released in January 03, 2023 or at least the files were delivered to digital platforms on that time, so I use that as a main release date for both. // And now here's the thing that i originally planned to do only for myself, since I'm that much interested on digital releases and covers but, I decided to publish it for everyone. Here is the zip package with all cover artworks and all their versions that Linkin Park albums has/had on digital platforms (so all artworks from there without physical releases). Only albums, I thought I will do the same for the singles but, it's kind of pain in the ass, there's alot of those, maybe I will do it in the later time. Also, half or most of them are on Linkinpedia already. So with those albums covers I included literally all versions, what that means is even versions that had slightly different size, were cut differently (so that would means also the ones that has a little bit more artwork then other version), the ones with slightly different colors, or the different will be just like 2 pixels of black border on it (one of the cover for MTM), or just a different PA logo in different spot. So I'm 100% sure you will not want to having them all, especially the ones with such a tiny small differences, but since they were officially delivered by the label, then I'm including those too. Also, I included the actual cover of the albums on apple music the ones that have animated artwork, they are mentioned in the text file as "2023 iTunes/Apple Music" and yes! I know that those are just a screenshots of the animated cover that apple music is currently using but those covers are also in the m4a files, when those are downloaded from iTunes. The covers in the zip are numbered as 01, 02, 03... etc and every folder has a text file "00.txt" including the same numbers of those covers and next to them there is a barcode of the release to which that cover belonged. So if you're interested that much enough, you can go to the site, use the search bar and enter those barcodes to find that release. Don't be surprise that two different covers might have the same barcodes - I have a look in to the 2009/2010 version of the iTunes pages and some of the releases had different versions of the covers than they have it right now. The label updated the covers of many releases over the years. Many covers were not archived but some of them (like Lost In The Echo cover and more) are still on the actual server that Apple use for the iTunes/Apple Music stuff, so if anyone need a cover from any iTunes release PM me, I might help you to get it. That's all for now. Some of those covers are not on Linkinpedia, I will add some of them there soon. // More proper update post mentioning more changes that was made on the site from the end of the December till now will be posted in the later time, in few weeks.

Can The Mall be considered an LP record?
martinez replied to bloodbath's topic in Everything Linkin Park
in a trailer for the movie itself, was never for THP. The song was also released for free in mp3/wav and a slightly different (in mastering) version was later released on Mall CD/digital release -
Can you post photos of the back cover with barcode and the last page of the booklet with Warner logos and barcode/catalog?

Not into Paramore that much, but I like this song. I only know it because of the Twilight soundtrack.

MTM20th box set in 2027???? Yes or No ????
martinez replied to thigolpbr's topic in Everything Linkin Park
It's hard to think there will be no any future album anniversaries, especially once you get used to the formula that each album should have one. There are tons of MTM stuff that could be used for 20 anniversary release and even twice of that that could be re-released as video quality upgrades. Well, if it won't happen, shame. Many people still requesting for a word/dedicated song/a specific song for celebration of Chester. I would easily replace that over any album 20 anniversary release and continue that once for few years. That would be the best celebration you can done for Chester. -
Added into notes of the remastered version of Prove You Wrong a sentence about the differences: 2 seconds less of the echo "You" loop at the very end of the song https://i.ibb.co/YsmrCvg/0750543.jpg Added to the music video sections of Waiting For The End*, Believe Me, Remember The Name*, Petrified*, Where'd You Go a sentence at the bottom that the upgraded version of those was released. Also, the ones with * contain an additional sentence about the differences in those videos compared to the previous non-upgraded version of the them.

It is just a separate version for some countries on Spotify. From all censored editions of Collision Course I removed the sentence that says "Izzo/In The End" is an explicit version and the song has now a clean mark. All that because it is a kind of plot-twist with it and it seems the song should be like that and probably doesn't need a fix. Starring with the censored version of "Jay-Z - Izzo" that I decided to check a few months ago. The first whole verse is the one that appears on "Izzo/In The End" and the only thing that was censored was "bitch" word at the end of the verse. So that wasn't censored in the clean version of "Izzo/In The End" but, I also decided to check the rest of the songs from CC and out of 6 songs 5 have the word "Bith" and in the censored edition of Collision Course album none of those songs have this word censored. So it is kind of like whoever was responsible for decisions on what stuff should be censored on those songs has greenlighted the word "Bitch". But at the same time, the same person or someone else decided to mark "Izzo/In The End" as an explicit track even if "Bith" is the only word that should be censored in the song. So you can see that something is off here. There are two other examples of the similar thing. On the LPU8 album, the first track contains the word 'fucking' which was censored, while the track 'No Londry' has the word 'Bitch' at the end that was not censored. The making of Petrified on Fort Minor Militia DVD contains censored audio. Somewhere in the video Mike says "... it's Machine Shop shit bitch" - and the same the word bitch was not censored. Anyway I decided to add explicit mark for "No Landry" and keep mark on all tracks from Collision Course just like digital stores have. -- Other stuff added/updated on the site: Fixed release date to August 18, 2010, which I found with the source link accidentally on Linkinpedia. Also, all LPU albums now have the explicit mark if any have explicit tracks on it. -- I have checked the band's discography on Spotify, Juno, and a few others using various countries, and here's what I found and updated on the site: The album is available on Spotify in some countries, for example Mexico and I could play NRL, so I added Spotify link to notes and I set the "No Roads Left (Non-Album Track) (03:48)" as available, because I thought the track was not available in this album just based on how it is presented on Qobuz. The album is still available on Spotify. Found it in United Arab Emirates. The album has been set as available for streaming only. The Amazon link that I have for it on the site I moved to notes and as the main link I added the Spotify one. It is still available on Spotify. Found it in United Arab Emirates. The album has been set as available for streaming only. The Spotify link was added as the main link and the link to Juno was moved to notes. It is still available on Spotify. Found it in United Arab Emirates. The album has been set as available for streaming only. The Spotify link was added as the main link and the link to Juno was moved to notes. Added to all above Junod Download links to notes. Correction of the name. Previously it had something like "Plus the making of the video" which was not quite right, it has just a teaser of it. -- Some other releases that I also check in various countries: And also: -added a Spotify link to notes of some LP releases and some releases in Side Projects -added some missing GRID codes, catalog numbers to some LP releases and some releases in Side Projects -Tidal digital store since some time (like over 1 year) but I have noticed it now is no longer available, so music can't be purchased from it anymore, so the link to it is no longer active on the site. However the Tidal streaming platform is still up. -Napster streaming platform is no longer available, so the link to it is no longer active on the site.

Wrong information/Mistakes in official material
martinez replied to lpliveusername's topic in Everything Linkin Park
They always could go with "Remember The Name (Explicit version)" or "Remember The Name (Non Censored version)" or just "Remember The Name" instead. With album version it can be easily misunderstood that it is the same version like on TRT album. Before my edit previously on Linkinpedia it was mentioned that the version from the album and single is exactly the same version, so whoever was editing it like that was thinking the same, maybe because he have seen it that on the single it was saying that it is album version. This I would says it was easily the labels fault. The tradition that continues from Hybrid Theory through A Thousand Suns and includes also Reanimation. Every first signle from the album was registered by an ISRC code which was in all cases the single version of the song and that the label later was using the same code for the album version, resulting that the label have to later fixing the song in all that albums and provide the album version of it. All that proves that there was a miss communication at some stage somewhere between Mike --> management --> Warner --> person who is registering the songs. Someone didn't clearly said about the differences between both, maybe that was someone else than I suggested or maybe Mike himself didn't clearly said to the person he was sending the files like "ok previously I send you the single version, now i'm sending you this and that song in album versions containing this and that differences". -
Wrong information/Mistakes in official material
martinez replied to lpliveusername's topic in Everything Linkin Park
I decided to wrote about it here as a potentional wrong information, because it is a wrong information but I can see why someone did it. you can see the album version on both vinyls: https://lpcatalog.com/content/items/fortminor/2005petrified-rtn/0093624281900-us_3.jpg https://lpcatalog.com/content/items/fortminor/2005petrified-rtn/0093624281900-us_4.jpg the problem is that, there was never album version on both of those tracks on any physical release. Both the "radio edit" and what they call it "album version" were single versions, they didn't have transitions to other songs. I think the person who was writing it, when was thinking about not censored version, decided to write is as "album version" instead "explicit". The digital release of the single had the single versions of all tracks too and at some point the explicit versions on it also had 'album version'. But the label was doing a big update in late 2012 and since then the single now contains the album versions of those songs. Like month ago I updated the Petrified / Remember The Name songs pages on Linkinpedia over this information, and I did make a separate version for each track with annotation. -
MTM20th box set in 2027???? Yes or No ????
martinez replied to thigolpbr's topic in Everything Linkin Park
When the band will be on tour with a lot of people from LP Team, is there will be enough people necessary that can do some preparations for potential 20 release of MTM in that time? -
Linkin Park's 2025 From Zero World Tour concludes with stops in Curitiba, São Paulo, Brasília, and Mexico City. The band stops by Formula One’s São Paulo Grand Prix before their final show at Corona Capital.

One more thing. https://i.ibb.co/gbHyKn1Q/3455767.jpg The 4K upgrade has more video on the sides; for example, you can see that there is more shadow and the OG version is more cropped on the sides. So, just based on that, can we assume that the video was likely cropped on the top and bottom instead of zooming in? The screen of the frame original was taken from the DVD rip, but I also compared it and it is exactly the same as a frame of the iTunes video (with just worse quality).
-
Oh... now I understand For some reason I was too much thinking about the original version and that those "additional parts" in it are zoomed in and I was trying to prove they are not (wtf). Sorry my bad.
-
Both versions have basically full video, but the one that you have seen on iTunes contains additional video, which consist of the main video. Just small part of video from the bottom was added above the main video and, small part of the video from the top was added below the main video. Those are exact same video parts, there is no zoom or anything like that: https://ibb.co/8ns9Zk0C Also, here's a comparison of the exact same frame, you can see that the shadow of Mike's head in the original is full, while in the 4K version is not because it was cropped: https://ibb.co/fzbdhhHF
-
So that's it? I was hoping for an 20 minute video with interview and that he will play a song he never played. No offense but LP already published the video of him doing drums for TEM and that was long time ago.
-
I was saying on the chat the other day that the version before the upgrade also was not having those effects because the video was cropped. And I thought that video on youtube was edited by a fan who uploaded it and then the label in order to upgrade it had to edit it the same way (just cropped it), because youtube will not accept it. So maybe that was the reason? You can watch 30 seconds preview of the original version with those effects on iTunes here. and you will see what kind of those effects were.
-
With today's upgrade "Believe Me" is now 4K, "Petrified" is now full HD. Added both to main post.

https://linkinpedia.com/wiki/Remember_The_Name#Music_Video Well sometimes is good to look on Linkinpedia, everything is described there. You guys spoted everything except Linkin Park poster. Also, there is somewhere in the video (I'm hinting) a huge, huge SOB "Megadef" album cover/poster.
