We did this the other week. This double falls into the same category as a boxset (an anomaly).

I like the twofer albums too. I also prefer the deluxe albums with extra tracks. But I thought albummaster was opposed to listing all the variations. What happened to the original release only policy?

Most cases I'd agree that twofers shouldn't count, but in this case I feel that #1 Record/Radio City has the benefit of making two 4 star albums into one 5 star album, if that makes sense. Individually they're good, if flawed, albums, but combined the goodness makes the few bad songs totally insignificant, if that makes any sense.

Hash may refer to:

Hashish, a psychoactive drug

in American English the hash is called the pound sign... (but that means something else if you live outside US).

No. Double releases are a bit of an anomaly and fall under the same category as box-sets (personally. I'd prefer not to see them).

it's the hash,
not the slash,
that's causing the crash

I own that album. Why should it be listed as a different album from the two it is made? Following that logic, are we now adding all albums with different titles and additional tracks?

Sorry about the problem. It looks like it's being caused by the hash sign. As a temporary workaround, just add the album without the hash, and it'll be corrected afterwards from the admin system. I've added the bug to this month's changes, so it'll be fixed shortly.

Well, there's a specific compilation that combines the two albums, is the only reason I bring it up. Here's the proof: http://www.amazon.com/1-Record-Radio-Ci...amp;sr=8-1

Both of those albums are already in the data base. Don't think a twofer should be listed as a seperate album.
