Ha ha ha, yeah it's a mistake that keeps being handed down on more commercial sites, but not so much on more musicological sites.
Everyone should be able to relax now, it's gone.

I thought they had drugs for that, ha ha. But seriously, I don't think the sleep baby album is a McLaughlin (gtrst) album either.

But what gets me, why does every McLaughlin (gtrst) discog I visit on the internet have that baby sleep album listed in McLaughlins(gtrst) discography. Why are so many people making this same apparent mistake. There is something about this that doesn't make sense, or at least doesn't appear to make sense.

Not sure that he has John. Even the link on the previous page (IMEEM) seems to have his album listed under the wrong JMcL, in this case the Jon one.
 
I think up until now this JMcL has been a songwriter only. I suspect the "SBS" album is a actually commissioned work, it seems to be intended to literally get kids to sleep.

I think he's the only one with an identical name John. The Indiana one for example is Jon.

I'm just curious, does anyone have a possible explanation why just that one album out of many released by other mcLaughlins, keeps showing up in several McLaughlin (gtrst) discogs on the internet.

To be honest I saw it a couple of years ago and didn't believe it for a second. Just came across it here by chance yesterday.

^ good one Ian, lets all just chill and smoke a peace pipe here, Snobb has done some great work for this site.

About the baby album, it still bugs me that when I google it I get the fusion McLaughlin in many many places, but not any other McLaughlins.

If this is a mistake, then it's a mistake that permeates the entire internet and I find that a bit hard to believe, but I guess it is possible?

The American McLaughlin' s name is spelled Jon. I beleive. 

I think the reason that it shows up all over the internet associated with fusion McLaughlin was because these sites just want to sell sell sell. I wonder if anyone actually bought the thing thinking that it was another fusion McLaughlin release? 

I hate the army as well that's why I was in the air force for 12 years.

I guess I'm going to delete it (baby songs), but you have to wonder why that one album shows up in John McLaughlin(gtrst) discogs all over the internet and not the other countless John McLaughlin albums. That fact still bugs me.

And yes I already knew there were many more John McLaughlins, including a country singer in the states.

RE. Marbles album. Whenever this album is released legaly, has different name and cover, it's not strange that it was placed in discogs. I am agree that it could be placed on Devotion page as re-release with information about name and cover's picture. I asked Duplicate albums team just to delete it , bevause it's logical. I think this kind of mistake is understandable and isn't a big problem.
 
Another thing, I am sure that PA are place for music fans, who trying to get some info about music they like, and to participate in PA getting better. Happily, there are many civilised ways to do it. And I am glad that we are not in the Army there ( as any normal person I hate ArmySmile). Hope all who participate in site could be civilised enough in discussions. Thanks for understanding!

My youngest is singing along with "Twinkle, twinkle little star".  It's got a  Michael Jackson vibe.  For those who have babies, it's one to consider, but not something I'd recommend for PA inclusion. ;) As Ivan says, it's an understandable mistake.

But of course the mistake can be understood.

Yes, not our John McLaughlin, but it's a pretty album.  Have a listen: http://www.imeem.com/artists/jon_mclaughlin/album/OKLrslpQ/sleep-easy-baby-album/

Not the same one:

^ Calm down dude, we're still looking into it. Are you accusing me of giving the site a bad rep?
