Compilation album?[edit]

Surely this is a studio album - albeit compiled from archive material? Doesn't a compilation imply that material has been released before? Best Witchwooder (talk) 09:31, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily... The Who's album Odds and Sods is considered a compilation album despite featuring mainly previously unreleased material. So if they considered it a compilation, then Focus considered this one as such. Shadow King618 (talk) 22:39, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just had a look at Odds and Sods, it says it is a studio album! Best Witchwooder (talk) 08:19, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Ship of Memories is a compilation album, but it is a studio album because it's not a "greatest hits" compilation album, just like Odds and Sods. --NRKfan (talk) 18:21, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ship of Memories / The Focus Family Album / Golden Oldies - Studio albums[edit]

Editors at Wikipedia removes «Ship of Memories» from the discography over and over again. Why? Ship of Memories’’, Golden Oldies & Focus Family Album is a compilation STUDIO album. Compilation albums is "greatest hits", like "Hocus Pocus" (1994) & "Best of Vol. 2" (2011). No greatest hits compilations, but compilation studio albums is OK. Do not remove "Ship of Memories from the discography section on this page page. Thank you. --NRKfan (talk) 18:18, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
