I see some Columbia albums entered, but I can't figure out how to list the sides A through H; all I can see is how to add another track to a side. How do I go about doing it correctly?

If you mean 'albums' consisting of several 45s in a box or folder, you should enter each disc separately, then link the first of the set to all the others, and add any helpful comments you like
I did this for L 1523 et seq.

Thanks for responding; however I was thinking more along the lines of this entry. I have one similar to add, and would like to know how that entry was accomplished.

OK, that's a good way to add four records as one album, when the album has its own catalogue number. You have the option to enter up to four 'tracks' per side, and a moderator can I guess rename them 'tracks A to H'. Maybe more are possible, so you should add the extra tracks in 'Contribution Notes' and a mod will rename them. Admin will know the maximum number. Please mention the individual record cat. no's in 'Notes' as per that entry

I think we now have 'Album' as a format ( OK but of course there could be 12" , 9" 10" or other sizes making up a set )

Meanwhile I think some companies made the sides differently ( did they use the same Cat number ) So 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 [His Master's Voice - Standard Coupling] etc or 1/14 2/13 3/12 4/11 5/10 6/9 7/8 [His Master's Voice - Automatic Coupling] as examples.

If 'linked release' should not be used for 78 album sets, the moderators will have to combine separate discs into a single 'Album' entry. Please flag up any entries that need combining, whether or not all the discs have been entered.

The mod must ensure that all the separate catalogue numbers are shown in the 'notes'. I have combined the 5 separate entries which I had mentioned above in the syle of mojofilter's example, and I entered the cat. no's twice: with and without the spaces to make sure they show up on an 'everything' search. Of course only the first of the five will show on a 'Cat #' search.

Yes, they generally did use different cat numbers eg. HMV D series were numbered 1 to 2000+, but the auto-coupled sets were numbered 7000 upward.

The earliest autochangers didn't hold as many records as the later ones, so you'll sometimes find two autocoupled sets of the same record set, one for the earlier autochangers and one for the later ones eg HMV D1172 -82 (The Mikado) has two autocoupled sets: D7000-10 and D7697-7707.
