Re. the Fairport Convention albums, Mike - 'What We Did On Our Holidays' was their second album, but not a compilation. I don't think that the first album is so bad but really quite different to what came later.

Ten Years After were stunning live. Saw them a few times and loved it. The albums are mixed with some top tracks and fillers. Perfect cases for cut and paste ! Sssch and Cricklewood Green my favourites
Fairport confusingly have "What we did on our Holdays" as album no.2 *and* as a compilation. I have both, buying the compilation thinking (knowing !) it was the 2nd Massive changes in style through their member changes. Top for me Fairport Convention Full House Liege and Lief Rhythm of time What we did on our holidays

Not helpful for 2 different albums to have the same name of course !
There are a small amount of them around, oh yes, Steve Miller Band - Living in the USA, main album and comp I only know cos I bought the comp !

Peter Gabriel managed 4 before he got round to thinking of 'proper' names for his records. The one that makes me laugh is the two Greatest Hits albums by Fleetwood Mac - not one single duplicated track and not even an attempt to mention that it was effectively volume 2. It's almost as if they were embarrassed of their part in some of the best music ever released! 1. Green Manalishi (with the two pronged crown) 2. Oh well - Part 1 3. Oh well - Part 2 4. Shake your money maker 5. Need your love so bad 6. Rattle snake shake 7. Dragonfly 8. Black magic woman 9. Albatross 10. Man of the world 11. Stop messin' round 12. Love that burns 1. Rhiannon 2. Go Your Own Way 3. Don't Stop 4. Gypsy 5. Everywhere 6. You Make Loving Fun 7. Big Love 8. As Long As You Follow 9. Say You Love Me 10. Dreams 11. Little Lies 12. Oh Diane 13. Sara 14. Tusk 15. Seven Wonders 16. Hold Me 17. No Questions Asked

The Greatest hits thing is a right pain. Some band have multiples of the damned things
Usually I stay away from compilations and especially greatest hits

I'm trying to work out how these are sorted. It's clearly not alpha order but certain artists are grouped together and some individual boxes appear to be sorted within themselves. Do you have a system, Mike? Or am I completely misunderstanding what's going on?
If so much as a single CD is out of alpha order, I have to sort it. Otherwise I can't find anything and I hate that.

Tried this before. Here's what I get Select Icon Ctrl V Must need more than that
<code deleted>
I remember I tried all sorts to try to get this to work a long way back.
Now I cannot even put spaces in manually to give some clarity, sense.
Found the answer. Change to Preview from BB Code and the spaces show. Odd this is so tortuous when ProBoards is sovery good on so much
