Talk:Randy Newman discography

Randy Newman is the author of a 1964 song performed by Vic Dana, "Warm and Tender" (b/w Shangri-La) a 45 rpm record on the Dolton Records (U.S.) label. Published in March of 1964 it reached number 27 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Randy Newman's Faust (1995) was released as a Studio Album

I think it's inaccurate to list Randy Newman's Faust under 'Musical', while at the same time omitting it from the category 'Studio Albums'.

To quote the article Randy Newman's Faust: "Randy Newman's Faust first had a limited run at La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego in September 1995, which coincided with the release of a concept album version, featuring a different cast and arrangements than the stage version."

We're talking two different things here, (i.) a musical performed on stage, and (ii.) a concept album recorded in the studio (not taken from the stage performance).

As this article is titled "Randy Newman discography", it should not be about any stage performance, but about released records - in this case the concept album, which falls under "studio album".

Accordingly, Randy Newman's Faust is already called "Studio Album by Randy Newman" in it's own wikipedia article.

It would also have to be included in the studio album section of the discography article.

The "musical" category could then be deleted imho, as it contains no other entry, and a separate stage performance album doesn't exist.

If there's no objection to this line of thinking, I'm going to edit accordingly in about three days (or mayby someone more familiar with wikipedia formatting is willing to take this up in the meantime, as my editing skills are on a very basic level)
