I'm working on some Chess submissions that draw from the 60's. These actually credit people for the most part (...amazingly...), but in some cases they are listed as "unknown". When putting this up, I assume we simply do not note that instrument for that track rather than "unknown". Is that correct?

thx

sure is :)

i wouldn't normally credit Guitar - Unknown Artist etc but i suppose there isn't any reason not to since http://www.discogs.com/artist/Unknown+Artist doesn't show linked releases...

but it might look bad if there are lots of them.

why don't you provide a link to a draft and give an example?

It's already in the queue, but I thin kthis one in particular is less an issue. Track 11 is listed as personnel unknown (other than Buddy Guy) It doesn't look that bad here (I think anyway), as there's lot's of detail on all the other tracks. However, I was starting to work on an older field vocal recording record that is really spotty, which I stopped before I got someone's POV on how to best tackel these... thoughts?

as no one else is prepared to comment (and you have my thoughts) all i can suggest is you submit one and then you'll have your decision. the queue isn't exactly round the block.

I submitted the Buddy Guy release -- I just indicated that the personnel for track 11 are listed as unknown. Seems like the most reasonable option at this point. As you said, if it doesn't fly, it's a short queue.

thx
