Thanks Eugene. I'll have a go at it later tonight. There are also six singles and EPs listed for the band on discogs which we don't have on our site at the moment, so I'll see what I can find about them, and hopefully add those as well.

^ First one hasn't gone well. It looks like I left a blank line above the text I entered for all three headings.
 Edit: Second one seems to be OK apart from having unnecessary dots after the U and K in UK (releases information section). I copied that line direct from the Bomark page, and never noticed those dots when I edited it slightly. When you get rid of the unwanted white space for that first DVD I added, maybe you could also add England, UK after the name of the venue (Penkhull Village Hall) where that one was recorded too?

^ Three singles done.
Old Stories - Brittania would appear to anyone viewing the page that it is spelt incorrectly (correct spelling is Britannia). However, this is exactly how it appears on the disc label, so I have left it as it is. Fire of London - discogs and RYM both have the title as "Fire of London / Beatnik" (or incorrectly as "Fire Of London / Beatnic" in the discogs heading for the single - thought they've got it right in the actual track listing), but the sleeve it came in only says "Fire of London" on the front, so that is how I've added it (please alter if you feel that both titles should be included). The back of the sleeve lists Beatnik as side B, so its not really a double A single imho. The back of the sleeve also has the full list of musicians and the instruments they played, so all we are missing for this one are the timings, though if you want to add the time for 'Fire of London' on its own then it's on YouTube (duration about 4:12). Edit: ^ Same with Billy Boy - I've only included the song written on the front of the sleeve in the title, though RYM and discogs both list it as "Billy Boy / Ad-Mad". Please alter if you feel this is preferable. The back of the sleeve actually says "Billy Boy c/w Ad-Mad", if that's any help. See http://www.45cat.com/record/mca667. Edit 2: It seems that 'Fire of London' was also released by MCA Australia (MCA 1671) in March 1981, I didn't include that in the releases information for this single.
See http://www.45cat.com/record/mca1671 (though neither discogs or RYM mention this additional release).Edited by yam yam - May 29 2021 at 13:12 |

^ Thanks, David, I've made all changes you suggested.
Regarding 7''-singles I prefer (in general, not only in Grace case) to have both A and B sides in the title. Because most often A-sides are album tracks while B-sides not. In our days B-sides are more interesting then "main courses". Additionaly, popular bands had different editions of their hits backed with different tracks, it's more convenient to have both tracks in the title.

^ Thanks Eugene. Are we allowed to add cassette releases too - such as this one from 1992 - all profits from which went to the aid of the communities affected by the closure of the pits in the area around the band's home town of Stoke-on-Trent back in the early 1990s?

^ Lol! I haven't added any wax cylinders, but I have accidentally added 'Billy Boy' again. The 'submittitle' page had been open in my browser for a few hours, and when I clicked the "Add more albums from this band now" so that I could add the 'Old King Coal' cassette release, the page said that it needed to be refreshed before I was able to proceed further. I did this, and duly added the 'Old King Coal' release, but when I checked to see that the addition had gone okay, I was horrified to find that another entry for 'Billy Boy' had appeared there as well.
 When I refreshed the page it must have re-sent the info I had typed in for the previous addition I'd made. It seems I'm not very good at this album addition lark lol! Every one I've done so far has gone wrong in some way or other!So I'm very sorry for duplicating 'Billy Boy', and could you please ask admins to delete it?  I'll attempt the last two Grace releases tomorrow.

How does one possibly add albums in a foreign script? It appears that many common languages are simply transliterated into English spelling but what about languages like Coptic? For example, this Current 93 album is missing from the queue and both artist and album title are in Coptic. Ⲁⲛⲟⲕ Ⲟⲩϫⲟⲓ Ⲉϥⲕⲏⲙ Ⲡⲉ

^ I think the best way is to add the album like you usually do. Then, if something goes wrong with special characters, you (or I) can use the admin panel to correct errors.
Or even better: you can add the album using the admin panel. Want to try?

Curious about two things: 1 - Why doesn't Chick Corea have his own listing, (only his Elektric band is listed) he's clearly Jazz/Fusion. 2 - When artists like these (see link) release albums together, would it make sense to have the listing on both profiles? I know that makes more work and there is the 'duplication' issue. Oh, and I wasn't sure if this was the correct forum for such questions.

Chick Corea is not included on PA as solo artist, only two of his bands/projects are here - Chick Corea Elektric Band and Return to Forever. It's not allowed to add Chick Corea's solo albums and his other projects. At least untill they will be added on PA.
It was discussed long ago, the decision was: no duplications! If two (or more) artists are on PA such albums go to discography of the artist, listed first on the cover. In case of mentioned album, it's already in Hiromi Ueahara discography, as Duet (with Chick Corea). (Thanks to my teammate for letting me know). Edited by NotAProghead - July 27 2021 at 17:19 |

^ Thanks, Julien, I didn't notice it because of different cover (I'll change it).
Will edit my previous post.

I added a V.A. compilation "Prog Rock and Beyond": VARIOUS ARTISTS (CONCEPT ALBUMS & THEMED COMPILATIONS) Prog Rock and Beyond reviews (progarchives.com)
Otherwise it's OK, but I somehow messed up with the album cover and couldn't fix it. This is the picture ;) EDIT: Oops, this is not a perfect one because of the arrow at the bottom, but better ones are easy to google.  Edited by Matti - August 11 2021 at 10:49 |
