Legacy - Catalog Naming Convention: (work in progress)

CK's (Columbia Legacy) reissues

CK xxxxx - Typical catalog # beginning with letters "CK" a space and 5 digit number
CxK xxxxx - Found on multi disc sets where "x" between C&K is a numeral & number of discs

EK's (Epic Legacy) reissues

EK xxxxx - Typical catalog # beginning with letters "EK" a space and 5 digit number

* I see the Sony Music Store has yet another version of the Columbia/Legacy catalog numbering and appears to prepend a "1". (ie.. 1CKxxxxx, 1C2Kxxxxx)

Unless otherwise noted/known, Please revert these to the above standard system
