Please note that the UK releases during the '80's should be on the Mercury label, this is not actually mentioned on the label or sleeves of the earliest singles. The only information refers to Phonogram who were the publishing house for Mercury at that time, which is why their name and logo will appear.

Big Country did not release 45 albums. Not sure what constitutes an album for the purpose of these lists, but that is plainly wrong.

I can't understand why Big Country got stuck with the bagpipe label. They have chiming, harmonic guitar playing as their raison d'être, but that is still quite far from bagpipes.

About Mercury label on early records. Even if Mercury doesn't appear is correct to enter it, but I think that Phonogram should be entered as secondary label anyway.
