Any ideas on the best way to enter albums such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, other rock operas etc. I'm not sure what to do with these. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated.

Can you specify your question a bit?

If you take the album "Hair" it lists the cast and the characters, but not which actor plays what character. In Jesus Christ Superstar, there are a few sections sung by the crowd. Often there will be more more than 10 titles to a side of the LP as it may follow the form of dialog between characters.

I think you can add it, and then it's easier to say how to do.
Sometimes even the composers are the main artists.

Enter each track individually if they are separated on the disc and tracklisting.

If the artist/performer is identified for an individual track, put it in.

If there's no main artist as such then enter the whole thing as Various Artists or [no artist listed] if there's no performer information at all (whichever seems most appropriate). For the types of things you are talking about I would guess "Various Artists" would be probably be most likely for the main artist.

As Ulf says, we can usually say better once it's on and we can view it with scans - so the easier answer is, take a view and enter it the way you think is best (even if unsure) and if needs be we can always tweak the entry afterwards.

As always there will be some which just don't fit into any guidelines we can offer (every time we close a loophole, two more seem to open!) so we look at them individually and make a decision based on collective knowledge and suggestions.

Hope that helps!

Something similar came up with Clockwork Orange

Have a look it might help in inputting some of the ones you mention.
