What you are suggesting is a similar layout to discogs.com. Where there is the definitive catalogue of releases from a band is listed in chronological order and all re-released and label variations listed under that 1st pressing. This I think does make more sense, as at the moment releases with unknown dates such as many fame issues are appearing in random places over the discography. And this may be harder to find for Joe Bloggs who's using the site for the first time to find than thinking to scroll to page three because his fame reissue of the beatles oldies doesn't come next to revolver in the original discography. I though the 45cat rule was that second , third or whatever pressings subsequent to the original were included with the original unless there was a separate advertising campaign. I.E. when the beatles singles were all rereleased as picture discs this counts as a new entry as it was part of a new campaign. With many records (ELO again as an example) as toppopper pointed out is from the record label changing distributer. All the ELO Lps released on jet changed cat. numbers when the distributer changed and placed their numbering system to the record, so it was never advertised as a new issue.
