[edit] Finished, I think

Wow that took a lot of work. Please be kind if I've done anything manifestly stupid. - Merzbow 06:18, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey dummy;)

You left out Crumb Duck, the split EP they did with Nurse with Wound in 1996. I'd add it in, but I'm too stupid to know which section you would put that in. EP? Rarity? Murderbike 21:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Um, yeah, I just noticed it even has it's own article at Crumb Duck. Murderbike 21:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
It's already there in the EPs section. - Merzbow 22:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Albums vs. Compilations vs. EPs

I don't agree with the classification of some of the releases.

Surely Space Age Batchelor Pad Music, and "First of the Microbe Hunters are short Studio Albums (mini-Albums?), not EPs. At 28'18 and 39'47 respectively, these would be full albums by the standards of many bands.

I'd also argue that "Amorphous Body Study Centre" were also an Album if it hadn't been re-produced within Aluminium Tunes.

As for "Fab Four Suture", surely this is an album (not a compilation) that just happened to be pre-released as six 7" singles?

Basically, I don't think that these four works should be "downgraded" from "proper studio albums" just because of their length and/or their method of release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.86.134.168 (talk) 01:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

It's a tricky issue. If you want, we can rename that top section from "Studio Albums to "Main Albums" and just go by how Allmusic.com classifies Stereolab's albums (see here). Sound good? - Merzbow (talk) 08:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
