Source Issue - Additional Musicians edit

The two sources cited in the Personnel section (which contains Additional musicians) are Tidal and Discogs. As of 22 Sept 2017 neither of these sources mention any of the instrumentalists. Specifically:

  • Ely Cathedral Boy Choristers,
  • London Metropolitan Orchestra,
  • Joe Auckland,
  • Adrian Hallowell,
  • Mike Kearsey,
  • Trevor Mires and
  • Martin Williams

are missing from these sources. If no one can provide alternative sources, how long should I wait before deleting these musicians? Very new here :)

Thanks!

@ZorroEstrella: Umm, yes they do. There is no source issue. I already had this conversation with you. You can check the individual song credits if you press the three-pin button on the right of the song and click 'Track Info'. Malayy (talk) 06:42, 27 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Malayy: Please find below the 'Track Info' windows for several of the tracks. For every track on the album the 'Performer' is listed as only alt-J. None of the names in my list appear anywhere I can find. Unless you meant another window (in which case please let me know) it seems the names of the artists have been removed since the website was retrieved as a source. If I'm looking in the wrong place, I'd be happy to receive a direct link to the page where their names appear, a screenshot with instructions on how to get there, my best case scenario is that we find the names we're looking for and the source stands :) ZorroEstrella (talk) 10:19, 27 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
@ZorroEstrella: Kobalt Music Publishing, which I see listed in your screenshots, is a British publishing company so I presume you are from the UK. Just like physical releases, albums that are released digitally are unique to the country you are in. Credits listed along digital releases are provided by the label that released it in the country you are from. They can vary from country to country. So when I view the credits, as someone currently based in the US, I see as I have listed on the wiki page. For example, here is a screenshot from the credits for "In Cold Blood". This is certainly a regional difference as I see no publisher field when you do. You can use a proxy to see the difference yourself. Malayy (talk) 20:49, 27 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
