Unless there is a stated point of it being less than the complete piece, I leave it as assumed that it's all there, and that the timings are "As to be expected" for that piece...
...That is, if it's a highlights package, or abridged in some way (medley, and so on), it may be worth mentioning the timing to give an idea of how much it is shorter by, but otherwise I think it can be left at face value.
In some dim and distant future, after the basic entry has been made, the foundation level of detail added, things of note noted, and all other priorities included, and only the finer detail remains, like timings, then I'm sure someone will add them if they want.
(Of course, if you want to add them, that'll be one less thing for someone else to do later on :)
ppint, you could use the "Add Tag" feature for designations such as "Digital Classics", "Silver Line Classics", etc; some series names, though, are fairly similar from one company to another, so "Philips Digital Classics" is probably best here.
ms mm'lade: yes, it's more normally a matter of interest to 45catters comparing different issues of singles which may or may not be the same edits, the same mixes, the same recordings, etc. as one another, and/or the lp tracks of the songs;
- but the timings of classical pieces also indicate how one conductor's approach to e.g. elgar's variations on an original theme (aka "the enigma variations") differs from another's - including sir edward elgar's, which may be of interest to classical music browsers somewhat less keen on changes in label designs and the forms of matrix numbers, than seems liable to be the case on 45cat.. .
yr hmbl srppnt.'s assumed "philips digital classics" counts as label = philips;
not sure whether the "digital classics" bit should be indicated in the notes: section, though.
philips/pdo's matrix-equivalent no. is 416 381-2. 01 between two square blobs on disc/reverse.
- would classicalcdcatters want the tracks' listed timings given?
