[mb-users] Here's a fun one - album title

[Jason Bouwmeester]

Heh I always seem to find the fun ones.... O.K... so I know we want to be
accurate with our entries in MB, after all it's what makes MB the best! I
went to add a new album by Soulwax called Most of the Remixes - or so I
thought. Upon further research on their website and other sites, it turns
out the full title of the album is:

Most of the remixes we've made for other people over the years except for
> the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it and a few we didn't
> think sounded good enough or just didn't fit in length-wise, but including
> some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or simply
> because they haven't been released yet, a few we really love, one we think
> is just ok, some we did for free, some we did for money, some for ourselves
> without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and
> always at our studio in Ghent.

So... I know entering it as such is going to cause tagging issues as the
title is some 540+ characters long, but the issue shouldn't be what it is
going to do to tagging, but how accurate the entry is - isn't that correct?
Upon further research, I noticed that the previous apparent record holder
for longest title is this entry by Fiona Apple for When the Pawn (
http://musicbrainz.org/release/7c91e407-028c-4c22-ae5e-ebdda29858f3.html) -
so it got me thinking that the entry might be o.k. as "Most of the
Remixes..." with the real title in the annotation? Based on this as well,
shouldn't the Fiona Apple entry titles actually be "When the Pawn..."?
