It looks like that the additional audio track is in place to prevent copying, and I guess that's why it didn't match.

In order:
-Technically speaking this is a new dump, not a "Fully Matching ID: 21477" dump, since the track 2 is different. It's not supposed to go in the verifications section, so please don't post it there, i'll move the topic to new dumps section.
-Update the redumper software to the latest version you can find on github.
-Redump the disc with --verbose to let us see what is going on, as the logs are not completely clear to us without the verbose parameter.
-Post the logs here so we can see what's going on.
-Also recheck the ringcode as "1000910101US R1H" may be correct but it's incomplete and missing mastering code, toolstamp and potentially mould SID code too.

Sorry for late reply to this.

Please check the mastering code. Is it still IFPI L238?

At the moment though it's clear yours is definitely a different mastering. It lacks an MCN unlike prior dumps.

Here is a cropped 400dpi scan of the back of the disc, which only contains its ring codes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17JiSf4 … IFKDZ/view
There is no mastering code from what I can tell. I saw another code in the very inside of the disc after I took this scan, it is located at the bottom according to this picture, and it is very hard to read.

I don't know the meaning of this, but I guess I don't need to know it.

MCN = Media Catalogue number. Listed as "Metadata" on Redump.

It's an Audio CD thing but sometimes you find a blank one on Data CDs to like the disc in the db. It's stored in subchannel so doesn't affect hashes though.

Anyway. We discussed it now and you can submit the disc as new using the new disc form. We will add a note that explains its relationship with 21477.

Could you add the disc scan once again? I wanted to review it, but the link was already deleted for some reason. A photo or scan of the front side could help too, for reference, to compare it with the other more common dump.

I see that it is added to the database: http://redump.org/disc/133152

I delete the files that I think there is nothing left to do with it. Here is the new one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r1-po1 … CdBfQ/view - it is 1200dpi instead and is not cropped.

Hello.  Thank you for sharing the scan again.

Can you please share a picture of the front of the disc (disc label side)? We have just a few questions we are working on.  It doesn't have to be a high-res scan.

Thanks!

You should be able to attach the file directly here (a jpg less than 2,000,000 bytes should more than enough to preserve enough quality)

My browser and anti-malware program have completely blocked that link.

Can you please upload the pic to Google Drive or another service?

Thank you.

Hey there.  After some mod review, we pretty confidently believe this is a bootleg, and bootlegs are not allowed in redump.  Please carefully check your other discs as well, as there may be others.  We might be reaching out to ask about some other discs.
