I have obtained the 2012 Holly Cole SACD re-issues by Analogue
Productions.  They re-issued both Temptation and Don't Smoke in Bed.  The
problem is, both CDs have the same barcode printed on them.  Doing some
research, it seems that the barcode printed is not the correct one for
either release, but belongs to a release by Freddie Hubbard. See:
http://www.sa-cd.net/showthread/89026//y

So, as I was entering these into the database today [1,2], I was wondering
what barcode I should enter.  I cannot confirm that the ones posted on
SA-CD.net are in fact correct, so I was hesitant to put those in without
confirmation.  On the other hand, although it is "wrong", the one printed
on the release is one that someone might use to search for the disc in the
database.  So, I wasn't sure what to do.  I left the barcodes blank for the
moment.

Any thoughts on how to proceed?  Is there any precedent for a misprinting
like this?
