Vinyl Album - Guide to Adding Records

Guide - Adding Vinyl Albums

Adding records to Vinyl Album World is easy and quick, but we ask you try and follow these guidelines.

Criteria

Vinyl Album World is for vinyl albums! This includes normal vinyl, box sets and picture discs.

Images

We strongly request that you also submit an image of the record you're adding. This helps us verify the entry and makes the website more interesting. It's good to submit images of the label to help with verification.

Try to find the year of release

If the year isn't on the label then please try a quick google search. Records added without images and without dates can be difficult to verify by our moderators.

Composer Credits

Please add writing credits with the names separated by a comma followed by a space before the next name eg Morrissey, Marr or T. Yorke, J. Greenwood, C. Greenwood

Don't use dashes – , forward slashes / , & or And to separate names even if they appear on the label.

Please don't use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

Producer, arranger, cover artist and other credits

Any artist credits can be added to the "Record Notes" section. This is often the producer of the record but can include any artistic credits.

Track Sections

Some albums seperate the tracks into sections. To add a section, click "Add Missing Info" on the record, then "Add Section Breaks".

Double album?

Double albums can be added by clicking the "Add Tracks to Double Vinyl LP" link.

Triple Album, Box Set, or more than 10 tracks per side?

By default up to 40 tracks can be added across 2 albums. If there are more albums or tracks, then they can be added after you submit the album, by clicking "Add Missing Info".
