Thanks, both done. By the way, Syomkina is closer to how it's pronounced in Russian than Semkina, but if "lovely Marjana" likes it, be so.

I guess you'd know as well as anyone.   

As a native English speaker I find the spelling of Semkina to be much more esthetically pleasing.  In any case, it seems to me that Romanizations are often (?) not phonetically accurate.  Is "Beijing" or "Peking" the actual pronunciation of that city?  I have no idea, but I'm guessing no.  I still don't know how to pronounce Nguyen (Nguyễn)!

Thanks for the update!

For example, you can look how I've edited AREA "Live 2012" http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=44039 info to see how "old dogs" do it  (unfortunately, I have not found track timings).

Thanks   I will check it out and read it thoroughly. Hopefully i will do it correctly every time

Timings have now been added (by octopus-4, it would seem), but they need putting in brackets to fully comply with the accepted formatting.

I'm sorry, Luca...Maybe it's not so important then.  I added only a few dozen albums myself, but when I see the instructions on screen:

And really....with brackets it's effectively more readable. I'll start using them for the future.

... same here. The album

Seem like YES albums like the KEYS TO ASCENSION ones are listed under live so that's probably where you'll keep it, huh? This http://www.storiadellamusica.it/avant_post_rock/avant_rock/area-live_2012(art_up_records-2012).html article says the 2nd disc is live too. Auto translation: "The second disc (titled " Geometry ") testifies to those parts of the concerts of 2012 in which AREA have given prominence to their improvisational nature, being composed of solo and" meetings "(sort of duets that have the value of preludes)."

OK. I was reading that part that one disc is live and one is not. Guess i read bogus info. Thanks for clearing that up.

I do have another possible mistake here on PA.

I am writing a review for RENAISSANCE Illusion - their 2nd album
According to PA it was released in 1970 but i am finding every other source on the net is saying it was released in 1971 in Germany only and then only in 1973 did other places see and the UK not until 1977.

Here on Discogs i am seeing a 1970 release in Germany

what up with this?

Andy Webb wrote: It looks like nobody would release it except German printers, but having a printing in Germany alone does qualify 1971 as the release date. Looks like we messed that one up. I've fixed the date. For future reference, it helps to provide a link to the album on PA. Just to save us the 3 seconds of looking for it.

Sure thing!!!
