Time to treat the Brass band recording in the same manner 
as other labels.
The music and the players deserve respect.

 The obvious solution is to list the members who
performed on the CD.

 All I want to know is "who is who" 
for that performance. I have met some players
from those bands and it is interesting to see
if they are with this or that group. 

As for the back rows getting credit, they contribute as much as 
the soloists. I'd rather play third in a great band
than first in a poor one.


I think the players or the BB associations should insist 
that proper recognition be given. Later changes in personnel 
are irrelevant
