Country Abbreviations

Hopefully most of the country abbreviations in my listings are self-explanatory.
WorldAtlas.com and Wikipedia gives the 3-letter country codes list I've generally
been going by, with a few exceptions.  Any differences are noted below.  The
worldatlas.com site may not load properly if your browser is set for a large text
height.

  <AUS>  = Australia
  <BRA>  = Brazil
  <CAN>  = Canada
  <CZH>* = Czech Republic
  <NLD>  = The Netherlands
  <NOR>  = Norway
  <GBR>  = United Kingdom (with Great Britain)
  <GER>* = Germany
  <SIN>* = Singapore
  <SWE>  = Sweden
   etc.

Listing Format

-- All band names that include the full name of the band leader will be listed
   under the leader's last name (ex: "Joe English Band" is listed under
   "English, Joe" and "Andre Crouch & The Disciples" is listed under
   "Crouch, Andre").
-- 2 artists recording together on an album will be given a separate listing.  For
   example, How The West Was One concert featuring 2nd Chapter Of Acts and Phil
   Keaggy will not be listed in both Phil Keaggy's and 2nd Chapter of Acts'
   individual discographies, but rather in a separate discography of 2nd Chapter
   and Phil Keaggy.  This listing will appear below the discography of the 1st
   artist who is listed on the actual album.  In the case of the above example,
   How The West Was One is listed under 2nd Chapter Of Acts / Phil Keaggy, instead
   of Phil Keaggy / 2nd Chapter Of Acts.
-- All special limited edition releases that were not available to the general
   public, but rather only to a select group of people via a fan club, concert
   distribution only, etc., will be listed on the "Collectors" page, not in the
   artist's main discography.
-- Reissues and releases will be listed immediately after the original release. In
   situations where more than one album is reissued on the same CS, CD, or CD set,
   then the reissue will be listed after the earliest album being reissued.  Take
   note that this therefore means that just because an album originally released
   only on CS or LP may not have a CD reissue listed immediately below it, this may
   a CD version may still exist if the album is on the tail end of a multi-album CD
   reissue.  There may be a few exceptions to this rule (ex. - I'd rather list the
   reissue of Swirling Eddies' Swirling Mellow / Meat The Farm Beetles releases in
   the main Swirling Eddies discography on "S" page instead of the "Collectors"
   page, which I should technically do since Swirling Mellow, a fan club release
   on the "Collectors" page, was released before Meat The Farm Beetles.)
-- Purple text on a label indicates an album that I own in my collection.  Green
   text will be used on the labels of additional titles that I own in what I call
   my non-collection, which is a side collection of additional artists that are not
   a part of my official collection and that I generally don't listen to on a
   regular basis.  I am collecting them for other reasons.  My non-collection is
   also where I put multiple versions (i.e. backup copies) of albums in my
   collection.  (Note: This standard is in the process of being implemented, but is
   only complete on a few pages to-date.  Some pages that have not been updated
   since 2004 still have my old standard - red text - on the labels to indicate
   what I own in my collection...which may have changed since the page was last
   updated.)
