exactly, it is just historical accuracy to use the name as it appeared when the recording was released.

"whats wrong with preserving a name for nostalgia's sake?" "nothing indeed - the music was brought out under this name after all!" Two things. First, he wanted his music to be issued (including reissues) under his new name, so it's a matter of courtesy to the artist.. Secondly, the point of Last.fm is in large part to bring together people who listen to the same artists; if a few people insist on listening to some of his music under a different name, then the listeners are split, defeating the purpose.

I remember seeing Abdullah Ibrahim one night in Brighton. What a gig. He had this extraordinary way of playing piano - like Charlemagne Palestine meets Gospel. Never seen a piano played so well since. Like he was in a trance or something.
