If you have more than one version of a track in your release, do include terms to differentiate them (i.e. “Live”, “Radio Edit”, “Instrumental”, “Extended Version”, etc.).
If your release has 1 track in it, these details will automatically appear on your album title as well.
Good examples:
- Yellow Submarine
- Smooth Chick
- Blue Orchid
- Move On Up (Extended Version)
Bad examples:
- Yellow Submarine (1966)
- Smooth Chick (Produced by Timbaland)
- The White Stripes - Blue Orchid
- 5. Move On Up (Extended Version)
Don't include:
Physical or digital release info
For example, don't include: e-release, digital only, digital download, digital single, e-album, 2 CD set, with lyrics
Unnecessary version information on an original version of a track
On the standard, original version of a track, don't include: album version, original version, previously unreleased, reissue, original mix
Any information that is already addressed by stores
For example, iTunes displays a badge or blurb for the following, so don't include:
- iTunes LP version
- Clean version
- Explicit version
- Mastered for iTunes
