Since the new revamp of the artist page, I've noticed that some V/A albums (in all three categories) are listed under Studio Albums, and some under Compilations. In many cases, Studio Album is the proper categorization (when the album is full of new material), and sometimes these are listed in Compilations. In a lot of cases, the album is just collected material fro different artists, and these are sometimes listed in Studio albums. It's definitely not a priority, but it's another thing we should clean up.

Maybe these mistakes are a lot less numerous than it seems, but from a quick glance, it's sure that there are at least a few definite erros (three label samplers are in studio albums [one I added myself Embarrassed] which should obviously be moved to compilations).

Anyway, I can't contribute any more than bringing this to the attention of the Mods.

Good luck! LOL

Cheers William,

Just list any wrongly classified albums in the "Errors and omissions" section, and they will be picked up and corrected.

Instead of making a new thread in Errors and Omissions, want to just move this one over, EL?

Anyway, here are a few that jumped out:

V/A Samplers
Studio albums that should be listed as compilations:
The Progressives
One World Tapestry - Progressive Rock from Around the World
Wayside Sampler 3

V/A Concept Albums
(I'm not positive about these, as I don't know if they're new material [studio album] or collected works [compilation], but it would seem these comps are new material and should be studio albums)
Tarzan
Zabriskie Point

Reunion

And there are probably (almost certainly) many, many more in both Concept albums and tributes, but without knowing if the album is full of new material or selected songs, it's really hard to sort them out. Sorry I can't help any more. And again, it really isn't a priority.
