I was more concerned with cleaning up the album listings for each act, so that it reflects their output. Personally I think it muddies the water having (in ELO's case again, to illustrate the point, although the issue is by no means peculiar to them) the album "A New World Record" listed in 1976, then again in 1978 (straight after the second appearance of "Out of the Blue"), then again in 1984 (following "Secret Messages"). Wouldn't it be better to just have it when it was recorded and released - 1976, so that the discography illustrates the act's work, rather than the behind-the-scenes actions of the various label owners? The idea is that subsequent re-appearances of the same album would be available through a link, in the same was mono/stereo is so that it reads (in this case: - Original pressing - Red vinyl edition - Epic edition ...and so son (I'll bet there are more yet to come).
