| Can someone tell me what the asterisk stands for? I have noticed it against some album or band names, and assumed it was because they hadn't yet been reviewed, but it also occurs on some (well, 1 that I saw!) that have been reviewed. Just curious. |

Bands either under discussion of being here (like Deep Purple was for a
time)...either under construction (uncomplete discography,biography
etc.)

* means incomplete discography.
I think as we get more and more people involved in editing and improving the band bios etc these irritating * will be dispensed with.
If anyone spots a band with an incomplete discography they should report it in errors and omissions (not newly added bands though-give it a month).

I was told that * means new band in PA. In fact it was mailto:M@X - M@X that said it. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Ok, thanks, I can go with that, but ... ... why should an ALBUM have an asterisk - the one I noticed was Roger Waters 'When The Wind Blows' soundtrack album  or is this just an error? |

In fact, Joolz, there are presently 72 albums with (*). It means that some important information is missing for these albums.
However, many albums not marked with (*) shall have missing information. Finding one, please report.  ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |
