I had started a page for this album from the Samplers main page, until I found this one. Doh! Perhaps I should have checked first. It make no sense for there to be two pages. The two releases are sufficiently different to merit their own sections, but I think they belong together, and here. I will merge my page into this one. --Rodhullandemu 14:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reissue?

I can't see that it is reasonable to describe the 2007 album as a reissue of the original - they only have three tracks in common, so it would be more correct to say that "A Breath of Fresh Air" is a completely different compilation which borrows (partly) the name of the vinyl album. I'm not sure this can easily be remedied without a complete rewrite and possibly creating a new page. Jon Rob (talk) 11:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Have amplified the difference between the two albums in the lead section. Since most of the tracks/bands featured have articles elsewhere, there needs to be little expansion here and I don't think there's much merit in splitting the article- there is sufficient nexus betwenn the two (as there was between the two "Rock Machine" albums) to keep them on the same page for the time being. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 14:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
