MERGE 2026-08-13 (Tier 1 duplicate consolidation, Gate 1 approved by Tom): This record is the survivor of a duplicate pair. The retired row was ('Van Morrison — Too Long in Exile (1993)', created 2026-05-30, Needs Review), whose own Notes had been marked 'DUPLICATE — DELETE CANDIDATE' during the 2026-06-04 census and named this record as the survivor. One value existed only on that row and is carried here: the Source link to 'Our Sausalito — Studio Discography Article' (), now added to this record's Sources alongside the 1993 Client Newsletter. No URL or attachment fields were populated on the retired row, so no Recording URL was displaced. NOT A DUPLICATE, for the record: ('Van Morrison with John Lee Hooker — Gloria') shares this album's catalog number but is an intentional track-level record for the Hooker collaboration, Verified and flagged [SITE] candidate. It was reviewed on 2026-08-13 and deliberately left standing. Do not merge it into this record on catalog-number match alone.
