Comment:
This description is somewhat unusual in that much of it comes from the container, the only source here for track information. Note the inclusion on the container of the names of roles or kinds of performers ("Soldiers," "The Riffs," "The Company") rather than performers' names. This makes constructing an artist entry more difficult. In this case, I've combined fuller forms of personal names ("Gordon MacRae" rather than "MacRae") since both forms appear together (and the fuller form makes for a more useful online search term), and omitted the role names since they aren't the names of artists/performers. It remains to be seen whether it is practical to include discs such as this one here (with more complex entries), and without the option of a main entry under composer which would simplify input to some extent. Some of the commercial systems sometimes use the composer's name as performer, but they also end up with duplicate records and nonsense entries (pre-recording era composers as performers) . I include the full original worksheet in case changes are made later:
