@nboldock,

We would have to delete the duplicate entry. But in all honesty, I think that would happen very rarely. Would a first-time user be specifically looking for a re-issue edition by its year (which, incidentally, is rarely printed on the label) and then rather than look further and find out how the site works, instead take his own scans and add it in? Maybe occasionally, but not as a rule.

I would think it more common that people think they'd like to look up a certain act, find the relevant discography and browse through, and click on albums they like - and wouldn't it be better if the discography appeared to them to be ordered, chronological and accurate? They'd soon spot re-issues and linked editions, etc.

I think in ELOs case (again!) many of the reissues came about only because there was a change in the company distributing the LPs. So, in the late-1970s and 1980s we have what seems to be a random sequence of earlier albums popping up two or three times each - which is not attractive to a first-time visitor, in my view,
