Members can now add extra disks/tracks to vinyl albums. This is useful when adding triple albums and box sets.
Before you would need to submit a correction, and wait for a moderator to make the changes. Now you can click "Add Missing Info" and add the tracks yourself.
This feature is already being used successfully on CD Albums, so some of you will already be familiar with this.

You can see why nobody adds many classical LPs... I saw an early box set of Pavarotti La Bohemme I considered for a moment, then thought of the weekend I'd have to set aside for entering it here, so thought better of it.

Fine, I've used it for Clyde McPhatter now.
What Classical needs is LEVELS of entries. Set, disc, side, work, movement/section etc. This is what causes classical sites to be fails. See what happened to itunes classical search after Jobs left.

You can use the "SECTIONBREAK" entry to split the albums up.

My own feeling with regards Classical world is that, just as we have different worlds for vinyl, tapes, CDs etc., Classical world would be greatly enhanced by being presented in the same way, as a sub-world of it's own:
The main page as a replication of the 45worlds main page, with heading buttons for different branches:
Classical Vinyl, Classical Tapes, Classical CDs, Classical Sheet Music (?) and so on, and once you enter one of these through one of these buttons, you only have the vinyl, or the tapes etc.
Would be a lot of work, I know, but at the moment it only has about 630 items all told, and any changes are better made now than later (and this may help draw classical enthusiasts in).

I suggest this would not serve the discographies of performers, conductors or even composers in the way that is now possible with one Classical world
I suspect that it would serve only record collectors and they can already sub-divide Classical World by using Filter > Format

I'm curious about opinions on: including Opus numbers in classical listings. I mean WHO CARES what the opus no. was. If there were 9 symphonies they each have their number.
And also the keys.
Listing movements presumably is the right idea, but those stupid foreign terms are a bugger and how meaningful? molto appreciablo tempo dimpo...
I'll have to try and see how multi levels will work in listings. Including adding to existing which does not have levels.
I think things like Opus Numbers, Mozart K numbers and so on are remants of previous attempts over the last few centuries of chaps trying to catalogue writers works.
Generally Italian is the lingua franca of the printed music instructions and hence the helps to make things internationally simpler ( though I see sometimes the Germans on record labels like to do their own thing ). I do sometimes get my tempos and pasta names muddled up, but using the spare record player at 78 to spin my own spaghetti is probably asking for trouble.
