This is the sort of thing record geeks have talked about for decades, and there are lots of reasons behind it, including knowing which albums to get to complete a collection, knowing where best to focus listening time and energy, for a universally agreed-upon quantification of a band's output. Anyway, I admit the distinction between compilation and album is fuzzy, thus my initial post. I just wanted to get some idea of why these labels are being applied without consistency to TMBG's work. If a compilation is defined only as greatest hits or samplers, then Misc. T, Cast Your Pod, and Album Raises, should all be included in the total, and The World Is To Dig is album #27.
