Would it not be better to entitle this.
Suomi Pop and Rock '98 (... or perhaps blank in this case): Vol. 9
and have as an album attribute (single, promotional)
There would then be no inconsistency with style guidelines. It would also be
clearer to vote on. Together with which in months to come this whole thread
will have been forgotten and someone else will put in an edit if it is not
consistent with 'styleguide'. It is highly unlikely it would be moderated on
a 'scrolling edit' and is quite clear as to what it is.
ie it is Suomi Pop and Rock' 98 vol.9 of a promotional series.
That is certainly the style I intend to use when I eventually get round to
adding my playlist of Punk, which specialised in (bonus tracks) as separate
(free) add ons.
If it is a separate CD it is a seperate CD however it is distributed. It is
vol. 9. No question. But it is not necessarily >"Bonus CD 9: Suomi Pop &
Rock '98"

Agree totally, the fact it is a cover is for when MB teaches v6 or 7. and
has 'About the Artists' with room to talk about 'subjective issues.
In regard to Classical, that is my 'hot topic', but is I acknowledge, a major
revision needing more consideration.
