 | RadoxTheGreen Wait, I have to scan what now? Member since Jan 2013 772 Points Moderator | I see on 12" worlds we already have one entry for "Doctor And The Medics". The record I was about to add has the spelling "Doctor & The Medics" (with ampersand) on the sleeve, and the abbreviated "Dr. & The Medics" on the label. Normally we are told to go by what the label says, but as they seem to use several spellings, should I just add this under the existing "Doctor And The Medics" name, or create a new "Dr & The Medics" band name? It's clearly the same band.  |

The ampersand will default to "and" when you enter the record :-) Enter it as you see fit and if there is a difference we can link the two artist names :-) Edited by nboldock on 25th Feb 2013, 6:37 PM |

| RadoxTheGreen Wait, I have to scan what now? Member since Jan 2013 772 Points Moderator | I'm inclined to go with the label spelling but if I do that there should definitely be something linking the different spellings, I suspect it was a "left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing" kind of thing at the record company Edited by RadoxTheGreen on 25th Feb 2013, 7:25 PM |

| RadoxTheGreen Wait, I have to scan what now? Member since Jan 2013 772 Points Moderator | I decided to stick with the existing form of "Doctor And The Medics" as the band's logo has it spelt that way. I've put a note that the labels have a spelling variant of the name. |
