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

But he has other albums out, why does this one album show up in almost every McLaughlin(gtrst) discog I looked at? I've never seen a mistake like this repeated so many times, very strange.

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 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.

I suspect once it's been incorrectly listed on one site, others will follow and copy the information assuming it to be correct. Maybe they all copied it from PA?

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.
