User:Coolmarc, what you quoted only really applies to when bonus tracks vary between versions of the album and we have a base set of tracks that are on every edition, or it's clear that there is a main/primary version. AFAIK, there is no edition of High Expectations that doesn't include the six bonus tracks, digital or physical. So in this case, the "original release" does include the six bonus tracks tacked on at the end and the duration (at least, in the infobox) should reflect their inclusion. Perhaps Mabel or her label intended the first 14 tracks as the album proper, but I'm not sure we should definitively separate tracks labelled as "bonus" when they are present on every edition. Perhaps clarification could be sought on either Template talk:Infobox album or Template talk:Track listing considering there are increasing numbers of albums that have tracks on the standard edition that are labelled as a "bonus" or "extra" track, and whether we should factor these in to the overall duration or not. (Also because the guideline's two sentences that you quoted could be taken both ways—it says "bonus tracks" should not factor into the duration, but then the next line says we should list the duration of the "original release", and in this case the bonus tracks are part of the original, and every, release of the album.) Unless I'm misremembering, they usually have been included as part of the standard duration if they're on every edition.
Anyone watching the page, feel free to chime in with your thoughts. Ss112 18:22, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are right in saying all 20 songs are part of the same version (CD, download, streaming). There is a vinyl release where the bonus tracks are on a separate vinyl, and on the cassette the bonus tracks are played on the other side though. CoolMarc 18:44, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. The "bonus tracks" are on the standard edition of the album; therefore, should be included as part of the album's main duration in the infobox. Billiekhalidfan (talk) 19:30, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
