How to handle identical titles/authors but different books?

The books are completely different entities, just sharing the same title. Is it OK for me to use a disambiguation such as Einstein on the Beach [2012] for the second one? It would be inaccurate to have the two books be indexed as different editions because they are different books (to be specific, one is a companion/hardcover programme from the mid-1970s; the other is a retrospective of the opera published in 2012 as a tie-in with its revival). Thoughts?
