GRYPHON "Glastonbury Carol" Incorrect Album Type

According to the reviews to this album (which I've never heard), it seems to be a "BBC Session" album. Some of such albums are classified as "Live", and some as "Studio Albums". The same thing is with the "Peel Sessions" albums.

The same thing is with the "Peel Sessions" albums.   I think that there's a need for a consistent rule or opinion about this kind of albums -- whether they should be considered "Live" or "Studio". Agree to a point, but it is not a clear cut choice as there can be differences - music recorded in a 'closed' studio music recorded before a studio audience an entire performance recorded in a single session an album compiled from different sessions Maybe we should have another category for this type of album? -- You're right when speaking about the differences -- therefore I would like a discussion on this issue to be opened (maybe, not in this particular thread, though; -- I just wanted you (everyone, in fact) to pay attention to this kind of problem / controversy). This discussion might lead to a reasonable conclusion.   Having an additional category is quite an option.   The other one is to check the circumstances of each album recording process, which is an ant's work (and, for many (if not most) cases, requires some special knowledges about a particular band history).   There are may be other different options (not mentioned).

In such cases, the wrong (or controversial) information about the album will be simply reported in this "Errors and Omissions" section, like it occurs with wrong song titles, names, instruments played etc.
