With the recent release of the deluxe edition of "Olivia
Newton-John's Greatest Hits" (RIP ON-J), I wondered again how one should organize albums when the artist's name is part of the title. The album spine for Olivia's (and many others) just shows the album's name such as "Anne Murray's Greatest Hits." Should this then be alphabetized as "Anne Murray's Greatest Hits" or just as "Greatest Hits" since the "Anne Murray's" is there to identify the artist, not the album title? Some artists like Barbra Streisand feature the artist name on the spine and repeat it as part of the album title, "Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits Volume 2." To me, Babs' name is definitely part of the title. But, are Anne's and Olivia's? |

I solved that problem with removable stickers (numbered by
me) and a database. At some point it was crazy to make room for each new item I had to put in the correct place. I had to move hundreds of CDs to put one of them in the right place. No way to keep on doing that when you have hundreds (literally). Back to your point, I'd choose to ignore the artist's name as part of its title and single consider "Greatest Hits" as the album's name (at least to put it in alphabetical order if I needed to do that). |

I put artist compilations before the main albums, and the albums themselves are arranged by original release date. As an example, if I go to the Bryan Adams section, I the have the discs in this order:
So Far So Good Anthology You Want It, You Got It Cuts Like A Knife Reckless Into The Fire Waking Up The Neighbours |

Great method Aaron. Makes things easier to find. |

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."
