Just want to say that as much as I want to see all releases by a band that has changed names under one "roof", I agree with what Lauri has said here - we need to keep them under their "correct" names and get an AR in place. Once we have those ARs connecting the two names, we can make changes to the website to show all albums. -Aaron _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
