Update of the site: Added: Music Videos (+Live Videos, Visuals) From The Inside (Live In Mumbai) link - streaming only Added Tidal link to notes. Added archived musicme.com link to notes. Added AAC format icon and musicme.com link to notes. Added AAC format icon, musicme.com link to notes, and alternate name: "Hybrid Theory (iTunes Digital Bundle)" Added AAC format icon, musicme.com link to notes, and alternate name: "Reanimation (iTunes Digital Bundle)", since the release had this name in more than one digital store 01, 02. Added musicme.com link to notes. Had no link for this release on the site, added archived musicme.com link. I managed to get them/watch them all and I did small updates of them on the site. Corrected the lengths of them and the quality info that's in the exported text file. ALTNC is the only one available in HD but only in 720p; the rest of them are only 480p. This release is still up on Spotify under its exclusive name in 2 countries Malaysia and Mexico. I have seen a lot of people out there asking what release this is because of its name. The release should be removed by the label from both of those countries, because there is no sense in having it, while there is already bonus edition of HT (with barcode: 093624320661) available in both of them. Added Juno link to notes. Added archived Qobuz link to notes. All of above are also on Spotify but most of them are available there only in one country (Japan). Should I add the Spotify links to all of them, even if they are available only in one country? Added some missing catalog numbers to some Grey Daze releases. I re-checked the Soundtracks section in both LP and side projects and provided some updates in case something was no longer available. Also, correction of notes in some of them. Also, I want to point out that some digital platforms like Tidal no longer allow previewing the release if it's not available in your country. So if the release is not available in your country, the link will not work for you, and unfortunately many platforms are starting to do this. // Trivias: There are such releases in which some of the labels use the starting with the "G" kind of catalog numbers, for example Epic Amsterdam in this release. Those kinds of catalog numbers that start with a G are basically just part of the GRID codes that the label uses as a catalog number: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you export info to a txt file from the site, from all releases, and you add them in one folder in order by name, you can see something interesting sometimes. You can see some releases in order of when they were registered, and very often they were registered one after each other, and you can see them next to each other. Here are few examples: https://i.ibb.co/9HTHB5DW/lp-0.png Those 5 bonus editions were registered one after each other. All of them had interactive booklets and were the international versions. Also, those are the ones (and the only ones) that had the extended name "Int’l Only DMD w/ Altered iLiner" on digital platforms outside the iTunes. It is interesting that the label registered them in the discography order while the interactive booklets were numbered not in order like the Reanimation was 3, Meteora 4. A couple of releases above, we have another batch of bonus editions registered one after the other: https://i.ibb.co/XxVYGhXF/lp-1.png All of those were also on iTunes. From all of those 6 I have confirmed information only on 3 of them that they have interactive booklet too: Collision Course (093624444664), Live In Texas and Meteora. But based on that and that they were registered in one line, we can assume that all of those 6 had interactive booklets. All of them were registered by the label in the discography order. The interesting thing in those 6 is that if you add number 99 to the barcode starting from the HT one and then to each one of them, you will get the barcode of the next one. A little bit above we have the third batch of bonus editions: https://i.ibb.co/Xf3wjZBq/lp-2.png All of them didn't have the booklet. https://i.ibb.co/0jM50Szc/lp-2a.png Those 3 were separately registered one after each other and were released only in plan9music.com store. The difference in the barcode between them is number 99. https://i.ibb.co/TMqD2JhH/lp-2b.png And those ones were separately registered one after each other and were released in general on digital platforms, and were available on iTunes too. The difference in the barcode between them is number 99. Plus additionally, the GRID codes are the 100% confirmation that those releases were registered at the same time one after the other. Another example, this time from Mike's releases: https://i.ibb.co/ksWd1gRR/lp-3.png If we look at this list and the same type of barcodes (05439) the list will be in the order of when those releases were registered. About You (054391950833), RFMS and Ghost were registered one after the other. And here's the thing, the barcode might be the big hint to know if the releases were registered at the same time one after each other, if the difference in the barcode is +17 or +12 or +7 like in this example (if you look on the barcodes from Ghost through About you) or -7 (if you look from the About You to Ghost) it likely means those releases were registered at the same time. Now someone might ask why the censored version of About You (054391950390) is listed above Ghost while it was released in April at the same time as the explicit version, because it was registered way, way later than Ghost release, and by looking at the GRID code you can see that it was registered over 9000 releases/stuff later after Ghost. By looking on some Post Traumatic stuff/music videos, and Linkin Park releases it is easy to assume that the label very often (or I can even risk to say that it happens every time) does the pre-registration. What I'm trying to say is that, when the label knows that the band is planning to release something, immediately register release under ISRC, UPC, GRID codes very early from a few weeks to even a few months before the planned release date, without even having the files yet. Like for example all the Post Traumatic music videos were registered under ISRC and GRID codes in 2018 while some of them didn't exist until 2019. Or that Hold It Together video which was released in 2023 while all identifiers of it were registered in 2018 already. We also have a few examples of that if it's about Linkin Park releases. By the GRID codes we can tell approximately when some of those releases were registered and in around what time. For example: the standard edition of MTM, the one with the barcode 093624447764 was registered in 2006 around the time of one of the bonus editions. Or From Zero (Deluxe Edition), the one with the barcode: 093624834892 was registered in 2024, even before one of the expanded editions (the one with the barcode: 093624834885). And by the GRID codes we can determine one of the very first digital releases that the label the earliest ever registered/released and that will be those two: The earliest release date I did get for those will be 2008 and 2005, but I think both could possibly be released in 2004 for the first time in the digital stores that are not available anymore. If someone is interesting, here's the list of all releases from the Pandora platform which is available only in the US: https://i.ibb.co/gMC4mFBP/pandora.jpg

Changes on the site that have happened since December 2025 to now: The link to Pro Music site, the one that you can use to check if any digital platform is legal was updated to this one. The previous one didn't work anymore. Added to the main menu of links to digital platforms a new link to beatsource.com digital platform and also a stream version of it to the "STREAM" links. The beatsource.com offers music downloads for purchase in compressed MP3 format and standard 16-bit Lossless (without Hi-Res) in formats: WAV, FLAC, AIFF. The store doesn't provide videos, so album editions containing videos are not available there but, other than that, the store contains an entire catalog of Linkin Park releases including the "iTunes Only" bonus editions/live releases, Powerless/WID (Live) single, all censored editions etc. Some of those releases are of course restricted to be available only in specific countries, I have a few links on the site to those kinds of releases. If that release is not available in your country, the link won't work for you. Also, like a month ago the other service - beatport.com, teamed up with beatsource.com. I have an account on beatsource.com and I receive the information that my account now also works on beatport.com too. Both of those services are almost exactly the same, they offer the same formats and now since about month beatport.com also has the entire catalog of LP releases. Changed status from "Not Avaiable Anymore" to "available" and added a beatsource.com link as the main link. Old link added to notes. Updated information about the formats.

Updated information about the formats. Removed the sentence "Released in United States and Canada." from the notes. It was available also Australia and other countries too on iTunes. Those two releases were swapped on both lists. Added some missing GRID codes and catalog numbers (mainly LPs singles and Side Projects) for example all The Catalyst releases have currently a GRID code. Update of the information on the icon next to the Search bar. Plus as always some minor fixes. I slightly edited one of my last post about that the songs itself can have a GRID codes too. I have search a lot for confirmation of that but I didn't find any worth of mention results. At some point an AI answer came out saying that songs don't have GRID codes. AI might be wrong. At some point using some resources I found a GRID code: A10302B0002489382V, which supposed to be for the song "Final Masquerade" the version with ISRC code: USWB11401083. And there is this Final Masquerade Promo CD containing the same GRID, which kind of might confirms that it is the GRID code for the song. Because for what other thing it could be? For the lyric video maybe?

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. // EDIT: not sure if the label puts GRID code to each song on the release, so below thing might be a bullshit 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 you post photos of the back cover with barcode and the last page of the booklet with Warner logos and barcode/catalog?

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.
