Sharon-
I would agree with your definition of album except with one slight
distinction. I wouldn't consider any kind of collection of previous
releases to be an "album". So Push Button Objects' "Dirty Dozen" does
NOT go down as an album in my book and I'd expect that others share
this view. Maybe not though.
