I don't think so. The box contains copies of the whole releases. I
believe recording somehow that this is different from a simple
compilation (where tracks could be missing or could be in a different
order) is valuable. I guess this is going to happen often, during the
few years when the CD will be dying. But maybe we should just record
it in the annotation for now, no use creating a new AR if this is to
be the only occurrence.
