This is where your reasoning falters, I am speaking specifially of The Faces
releases which were originally released as "The Faces" and "Rod Stewart &
The Faces" was a marketing creation based on Stewart's popularity, and none
of the tracks on the releases in question are Stewart solo tracks.   To put
it another way, I have seen a Zeppelin bootleg released as "Jimmy Page & Led
Zeppelin".  Do you really think we should add an artist called "Jimmy Page &
Led Zeppelin" because a label that has nothing to do with the artist decided
to highlight a famous member of a band?
