Well I would say the Yes example marquer gave is clearly a case for a join, but combining 15 tracks is a tougher call. I don't have the Emerson record so I can't judge really, but since we have reqs available on the Moon it's not unusual that some epics get split up. If there's some way to group some of the 15 tracks into logical units that would prolly be good. Of course if it's really one logical unit split up by the CD manufacturer then it makes sense to put it all together, but whole sides should be requested sparsely, not everybody likes KE (although I do). And I agree if joining is done, get rid of the individuals, it wastes disk space and just ticks off the folks that thought joining the tracks up was a good idea and likely the requester won't mind getting more for his request chit.
