Can you please link "Baja Marimba Band" and "Julius Wechter and The Baja Marimba Band"? The earliest use I can find of Wechter's name being used as part of the group is 1967, three years after their initial release.

I'm not sure what you want to do with the mess that's the Boston Pops. When you add in the people who have done albums with them I counted at least 9 different permutations. I've got a bunch to upload, the majority will probably fit "The Boston Pops Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler" which seems to be the most common, but I'm a little reluctant to do it yet. Not sure how you'd want it.

Keep adding them, using the appropriate name and they will all be linked under the 'main discography' Boston Pops Orchestra which can be linked to 45cat

A discussion was done in 45cat about entering Artists and from a suggestion put forward:
"Personally I would prefer the main artist to just be the listed name (eg. Billy Vaughn) with "And His whatever" in the notes.
Currently there are numerous variations for the one "Main Name and His blah blah" all getting put together with pseudonyms for a full discography."
A later response:
"I agree that it works better the way we've done it at 78world etc.
(i.e. just listing Bing Crosby and adding the rest to notes)"
By looking at the above here it appears that Worlds is going in the same way as 45cat.

I thought Boston Pops was Bad;
Stan Getz:
All should be linked under just "Stan Getz"
Stan Getz
Stan Getz / Joao Gilberto featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim
Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto
The New Stan Getz Quartet
Then we have the Duet albums that should link to the individual artists
Stan Getz, Chet Baker
Stan Getz and J.J. Johnson
Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan
There's others, but those are the only ones to show albums. I didn't see any duplicate listings, but I did see the same album under different group names depending which country it was from.
