Seems like Management is all over the place re: duplicates
What do you mean?
For instance a different performance under an alias seems a valid entry these days.
Frankly my statement is the result of general experience rather than from specific exchanges that I could now go back and find. My current position is to refrain from filing error reports for duplicates other than clear cases....

Here's an example of the same work covered by the same artist but just with different aliases/stylings:
As a user, I like knowing about the later performance, but that info needs to be in the comments in my view....
Another questionable pair in my view (though I am not familiar with the work):
I imagine Blue Swede released a number of recordings under BS and Björn Skifs & Blåblus. Shall all of them be entered on site?

Both entered by a currently absent editor. Deleted the later performance.

Erik CE should be able to explain about this pairing.

Could you look into this possible duplicate performance and advise?

Those are actually different recordings, but not possible to define which was recorded first.
Omitted the additional one from the single and updated the comments to make this even clearer than before.
Thanks for making aware.
Actually, the now omitted entry goes for a solo performance although not credited as such...

As far as I can tell the same recording was used for both. My guess is there was a rush to get an album out following the success of "Hooked on a Feeling", so they made a few changes to the song list from the first album (dropped three songs, added one and rearranged the tracks a bit) then issued it that way - far faster than recording an entirely new album and it gets the newly-found international audience familiar with them. The group's second album appears to have been released under both group names ("Björn Skifs & Blåblus" in Sweden and Blue Swede internationally).

Just two remarks:
a) Blue Swede was indeed the (later launched) international name for Blåblus.
b) From Swedish wikipedia: "Björn Skifs slutade i Blåblus 1975 för att satsa på en karriär som soloartist. Bandet jobbade vidare ... Efter ett antal års uppehåll startades bandet upp igen av originalgitarristen Micke Areklew år 2011"
= "Björn Skifs left Blåblus in 1975 to start a solo career. The band kept on working ... After a couple of years on hiatus, the band was restarted by original guitarist Micke Arkelew in 2011"
Now, there is the question if we should (not) make Skifs & Blåblus releases joint artists ones....
VV if you have more cases, it's better to file an error report.
As stated in the original post, since the editors/management are all over the place on this question, I no longer file related error reports. Until there is a clear rule that I can reasonably and consistently apply, I will continue as I am now....

I thought we had a clear rule - no duplicate performances for artists or artist aliases except in a small number of cases:
- Where first live performance or broadcast is different to recording
- Where first recording and first release are different
- Vocal vs. instrumental
Or do editors have a different understanding?
I should clarify, "do as I am now" means take no action. My original purpose for this thread was to highlight the inconsistency problem rather than to report any specific case. From my perspective, I see constant back n' forth over the "one" cover question, so I can't say whether there is now a current clear rule that I can reasonably apply or whether the editors have accepted the new rule (i.e. no error report improperly rejected).
Just not worth my effort as things appear to stand....
