Wow!!! Damn, it works! Thanks!!!

For the future the tags on the example album in mp3tag, after selecting
all songs displayed in Extended Tags menu entry:

ALBUM = Coastal Breaks II
ALBUMARTIST = Adam Freeland
ARTIST = <keep>
DISCNUMBER = 1/2
TITLE = <keep>
TRACK = <keep>
YEAR = 1998

so if i browse/search now in the catalogue, i'll find this album under
adam freeland's name!

Thank you again to all of you for your help!
