What is so important/special about Legend and Star Time (and maybe.......err....the Chuck album too......umm.....hmmm.....  ) that they should not be taken off the site too along with the other ones?
I think we should only take off the aforementioned box sets which include an artist's complete works or something (excluding relatively shorter albums like The Complete Recordings by Robert Johnson, for which there are not many alternatives, and it is a complete album by itself, not a collection of others)
I don't have any problem with compilations, though.

Well, I consider the Great 28 Chuck Berry's only chance to really shine. He never really had an album that put him 'over the top' or anything.
Legend could be taken off I guess, but for some reason it's often glorified.
Star Time was just a throw in. I haven't even listened to it.

You're right about the Great 28. Which is also why I said that albums like Robert Johnson's Complete Recordings and the King of Delta Blues Singers albums and Hank Williams' 40 Greatest Hits should not be taken off.
As I said, I think many compilations should be left in. Take out the box sets maybe, but not the compilations. They are albums, albeit a different kind.

I've got no problem with compilations either, but when does a box set become a box set? It's not always very obvious (especially now with digital), and what about dual albums etc. It could get messy digging around this, and I'm half-inclined to leave things as they are.

To start with, The Beatles Box Set. Never got the point of including that.
That's an option too, though. Let's see.

Agree, leave things as they are. Do not censor.
