Interestingly, these two examples from the MB documentation almost
seem to be recommending the opposite: the "Frontline Assembly" example
cited as an error to be corrected is from an original official album
release, while the "SPY" name variation occurs only on a couple of
tracks where he is a "feat." artist.
