Versions & Mixes and Meridian Music Archives are independent music reference publications.

These Guides are not affiliated with, authorised by, sponsored by or endorsed by Apple Corps Ltd., EMI, Universal Music Group, Sony Music, RCA Records, Elvis Presley Enterprises, The Beatles, or any related rights holders, estates, companies or licensors.

All artist names, album titles, song titles, trademarks and recording references are used strictly for identification, research, commentary and critical discussion purposes.

Nature of the Guides

Versions & Mixes Guides are designed as listener-focused reference publications intended to help readers navigate officially released recordings, mixes, remasters, alternate takes, demos, live recordings and related releases.

The Guides contain commentary, analysis, descriptive writing and reference information only.

No Guide includes:

Copyrighted audio files
Download links to copyrighted recordings

Unauthorised reproductions of proprietary material

All content is presented under applicable fair use principles relating to criticism, commentary, research and reference publishing.

Watermarking & Distribution Tracking

Each purchased copy contains both visible and embedded identifying watermark information linked to the original purchaser.

Unauthorised shared or publicly distributed copies may therefore be traceable to the original source of distribution.

By purchasing or downloading a Guide, you agree not to distribute, upload, transmit or make your personalised copy publicly available in any form.

Digital Publication & Updates

Versions & Mixes Guides are released as digital publications only.

This format allows:

Ongoing revisions and corrections
Expanded future editions
Improved accessibility
Searchable navigation across songs, mixes, and releases using extensive indexes and hyperlinks throughout the document

Availability of specific streaming releases, remixes and digital editions referenced within the Guide may vary by platform, geographic region and over time.

Accuracy & Availability

Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of information presented. However, recording histories, release configurations, streaming availability, and rights ownership may change over time.

Meridian Music Archives does not guarantee that all information is, and will be, permanently accurate, complete or continuously available.

The Guides are intended as reference works and listening companions rather than definitive legal or discographic authorities.

Intellectual Property

All original written content, layout design, indexing structure, branding and guide formatting published by Meridian Music Archives are protected by copyright and other applicable intellectual property laws. Meridian Music Archives and its associated branding, logos and proprietary materials are the intellectual property of the publisher.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, distributed, transmitted or used in any form without prior written permission, except where permitted by applicable copyright law.

Updates and Future Editions

Purchased Guides include access to the specific edition purchased at the time of sale.

Minor corrections, formatting revisions and small content updates to that edition (“dot” releases) may be offered free of charge to existing customers at the publisher’s discretion.

Substantial future expansions, restructures or new editions including, but not limited to, Version 2, Version 3 or later releases, may be offered as separate paid products.

The publisher is under no obligation to provide ongoing updates, revisions or lifetime access to future editions unless explicitly stated at the time of purchase.
