I noticed that some albums have track listings taken from LPs, with division on side A and side B, although there are CD reissues of them, whilst other albums have CD track listings. Shouldn't we stick to one convention? ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

| I am not aware the site has such a standard .... my preference is for CD format but some could argue for it to be presented in the format it was originally released |

| It's not very difficult to predict from the LP track list how the tracks go on the CD, so I think it would be a nice extra info to know which track starts the vinyl version B-side. If there are deviationg track orders, then they could be listed separatelly? |

As long as the tracks are listed in the correct order, it doesn't really matter if the A/B split is shown or not.
Where the order varies between the formats, it is best if both are shown, or a comment made of what the differences are.

| Yeah, that's why we have this field "release details" where you can give details on different versions of a release, including any different track order or bonus tracks, if any. When adding albums, I prefer the original release (vinyl or CD) order, but in case of LP vinyls I don't normally separate A and B sides. |

I have noticed that too,but I don't think it's too big a deal.Like Easy said,as long as the tracks are listed in the right order everything should be fine. I prefer to use track listings from CD's though. -------------  |

| I think that CD track listings ought to be used when albums are or have been avaliable on CD. If an album hasn't been reissued on CD, there isn't a CD tracklisting for it, hence the LP track listing (divided into Side A and Side B, and possibly more sides) should be used. |
