Plocky45 has asked a question I was searching the forums to find an answer for.

Do we class newspaper free CDs as promos because they were "given" with the paper, or albums because,er, well, they're albums.

I've added one as an "album" because a promo to me is something more akin to a white label releases sent to radio stations, but it's something that should be decided as policy sooner rather than later. I labelled the CD I uploaded "Daily Star Sunday / Peoplesound" as it's credited to both on the CD.

I'm not too concerned over whether newspapers should be classified as "proper" labels, there's so much blurring of boundaries within the media these days that I would consider a release from a newspaper as worthy of categorising as a "label" as any record company. That said, I suppose you could argue over whether the Daily Express, Daily Star, Star Sunday should be together under an all-encompassing "Express Newspapers" label, Daily Mirror under "Trinity Mirror" and so on.
