About the compilation thing, wouldn't it be simplest to say that a compilation album has to be a compilation? That means no full albums, no complete catalogues.
I think to limit the number of CD's is very arbitratry, and some bands and artists have best-of compilations that are 3 or even 4 CD's. I don't see the problem with that.
I for one was possibly going to pick a compilation that has 3 CD's, doesn't span the bands entire career, has about one third of not-on-albums material, has a bunch of new songs and so on. Why shouldn't I be able to pick that?
(Sorry for being late on this.)
