The End of Radio's move

[edit]

I've moved The End of Radio from the Live albums sub-section to the Compilation section, because it is a compilation of two studio recordings. There might have been some confusion because the second Peel Session was recorded "live in front of a studio audience", but I think "Live albums" refers to albums recorded in a concert venue, be it stadium or dive. It's analogous to Tom Waits' Nighthawks At The Diner, for which a faux nightclub was created in the studio, replete with "patrons". The ambiance and crowd noise is an integral part of that album, but it's still considered a studio album. Also, the creator of the navbox agrees with me: The End of Radio is listed as a compilation there also. -- Pete Best Beatles (talk) 17:21, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would disagree in that it is still a live recording, regardless of the venue, and should still be under the Live Albums subsection. FWIW these BBC recordings are also considered "live" on MusicBrainz. Hornbuckle (talk) 21:20, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, Shellac's BBC recordings were never officially released prior to The End of Radio, so how would it be considered a compilation? A compilation of what releases? Hornbuckle (talk) 21:21, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
