[mb-style] Classical releases titles should be sleeves' title or reflect the whole content of release ?

[Thomas Tholén]

I can't see how we would want anything else that the title (that would be
what's printed on the release, IMO) in the title field. If the release is
called different things in different places, then that's a problem of
course, but those are best solved case-by-case, and preferably by chosing
one of the possible titles, not by making up a completely new one only
because releases with the same music usually are called that way. That will
make it more difficult to find your exact release than necessary.
