Adding singles? / Official bootlegs

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I noticed that the last release category is titled "EPs, Fan Club Releases" thus omitting singles. Is this a mistake or should we indeed avoid singles? It could be a good thing, keeping the discographys simpler.

Another thing I've got to ask is official bootlegs that are only released digitally, for free or not. Metallica has literally hundreds of them (they've released every single show since 2003 and selected shows from before), some of which were added automatically by Musicbrainz. They are official releases, but sh*tloads of coverless obscurities make the discography look like crap, and if we've got 50 of them, we should add all 750 others as well.

So perhaps no official bootlegs in digital format or just in certain cases when it doesn't flood the site?
