The problem with encouraging people to get to the top of a league table is that the site will be inundated with records without labels.

Yep -- part of the fun of this site is seeing some unusual coupling/ label ..and I mean actually seeing the label and not just a listing. I hate it when I browse to the 'latest' page and see only listings with no labels. Granted, I know its important to have the listings from a discography perspective, but the anorak in me that knows I may never own a particular records likes to at least 'own' the image of the label. In a philosophical way it seem to make actually owning the record seem more than a dream.

I have a whole whack of late 1940s US Vocalions that could be entered listing only (for the completeist who wants to compile the full list), but I feel like I'd be cheating if I did that. Same goes for Cameo/ Parkway stuff from the Philippines.

I'd almost like to see that any 'listing only' would have to be supported by some sort of validation even if its just a scan of an advert. After all -- anyone can create a listing for Move It by Cliff and the Drifters on Vietnamese Columbia -- but whats the proof in that!
