Whatever differences people claim exists between the ampersand and "and" are irrelevant since most/many artists use them interchangeably, i.e. Nick Cave &/and The Bad Seeds, Bob Dylan &/and The Band. If you go by the text on the original album covers, The Basement Tapes should be attributed to "Bob Dylan & The Band," Before the Flood to "Bob Dylan/The Band" and The Complete Basement Tapes (Bootleg Series Vol. 11) to "Bob Dylan and The Band." Last.fm made all of these non-issues into issues when they introduced the "auto-correct" feature, which led to us having separate pages for ampersand/and, among other problems.

Ampersand (&) usually denotes a collaboration between two separate artists (for example: [artist]Van Morrison & The Chieftains[/artist]), while "and" means they are a stable single unit (for example: [artist]Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers[/artist]). There are exceptions and debatable cases, but as a general rule this helps keep tags more consistent and less confusing.

Someone at Columbia made a mistake on the Complete cover (they're not known for great attention to detail), but it's still incorrect. [artist]Bob Dylan[/artist] and [artist]The Band[/artist] are two separate artists who collaborated with each other without creating a single entity called "Bob Dylan and The Band". Last.fm will redirect both spellings to the same page unless you have autocorrect turned off in your settings, which I do.

[url=http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/Bob+Dylan+&+The+Band]Bob Dylan & The Band[/url] is the correct artist tag for The Basement Tapes. See the original [url=http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j474/gatofiesta/tapes_zpsrfbsoiff.jpg]1975 Columbia LP[/url], [url=https://musicbrainz.org/release/3eaf71ed-853f-4f68-9623-b6f0a64ecf40]Musicbrainz[/url] or [url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-basement-tapes/id309065794]iTunes[/url].

AndoDoug, don't forget about the magnificent Aug. 31, 1969 concert at Isle of Wight made available with Another Self Portrait last year.

I'm going to acquire A Tree with Roots anyway, but I love the bad quality of the previous Basement Tapes...

A Tree With Roots is so good. Gives you the complete 100 song+ Basement Tapes experience plus the much improved sound quality. Legendary stuff.
