The way we file Island related releases in Discogs is kind of a mess, and is still in a state of flux. It is slowly getting better, but the label doesn't lend itself well to some of the policies that people have tried to enforce in the past.
Following is how Island labels are accounted for in Discogs (as of 2006-05-27). It has a number of problems, most notably the strange sublabels of Island Records (US), most likely from when "Island Records" was renamed to "Island Records (US)":
- Universal Music Group
- Universal Island Records
- Universal Music (UK)
- Island Records (UK)
- 4th & Broadway
- Al's Records
- Apollo Recordings

- Island Records (Portugal) - see note about Dacapo below

- Island Records - does not exist in Discogs
- Island Records (Japan) - updated submitted to move it under Island Records (US) for now - mjb
In addition, Island-branded records are filed under
- Dacapo - I'm trying to push for getting Island-branded Portuguese releases listed under both Dacapo and Island Records (Portugal) - mjb
- Festival Records - Kind of an odd duck in that Island branding takes a backseat - mjb
- Phonogram GmbH
- Phonogram (France)
- BMG
- Ariola (Germany)
- BMG Ariola München GmbH (and perhaps other Ariola divisions listed on the BMG page)
- PolyGram (and various divisions listed on that page)
We need to figure out better ways of organizing things.
