With 45cat, we create a new entry if the record is on a different label etc, and we've copied that method over here for vinyl albums. I think it works well.

But we don't do that at 45cat, and I don't think we should do it here. We're not going for a pure list of primary releases, but for a list of all the different records that have been released. I understand that point, but I think the issuing policy of singles and albums is different, so there's no absolute reason to make the two sites the same. You could, for example, go out now and buy a new edition of perhaps half a dozen Stevie Wonder LPs from the 60s and 70s - but try and find new reissues of his singles - they aren't reissued in the same way. And also, we've already merged mono and stereo, despite their being different editions with different cat numbers, so there is inconsistency as it stands.
