Hey guys,

"this compilation was formerly named Strictly Commercial." - you really think so?... Well, its similar in many ways, but it is not the ''same''... Different title, different album cover. A Version, maybe, but it might be better to call it a different album. I think.

This listing leaves the times and links to the original albums. Is this a good or bad idea? I would say it was a bad idea - but then this whole wiki thing seems to have so many bad ideas one more will not make much difference ;-)

What's bad about the idea of listing times, and (in the case of compilations) adding links to the albums from which the tracks were taken? Just because this hasn't been implemented with every album's track-listing (yet), doesn't mean it's not good practice. As I'm the promotor of many of these "bad ideas in this whole wiki thing", you'll have to enlighten me.

I realise I am completely out of step here and should just resign myself to accepting the imposed structure but I just wondered if the details of an individual track would be better presented under the individual listing in the Track category (where there is space to record variations etc.) rather than spilling out over other categories.

Why not list times on both the Album page and the Track page? Best of both worlds?
