It also gets added correctly to elton john artist. if I delete the album from elton john it disappears also from a boy named sue. Then when I add it again, it shows up in both artist categories again.
I stepped thru each song line by line using mp3tag and every song correctly shows elton john as the artist.
perfect tunes id tag program doesn’t show any tag anomalies either
Because they appear as a supporting artist on the album. Roon links to all artists that are in the credits to an album. That’s why it’s under Appearances. This is all part of the Roons advanced metadata to be able to deep dive to any linked artists to recordings.
understood your original comments. just initially thought both sue & sunny and “a boy named sue” might have been on the cd. But if I search for background singers name “a boy named sue” I couldn’t find anything. So you are probably correct that it is a mistake.
