Initially tagged using MusicBrainz. Some additional tag via ID3, e.g., DISCSUBTITLE, but nothing that would provide this reference. Indeed, if I opt to make the release unidentified this line dissappears since all tracks are performed by ABC.
Is the album identified in Roon?
Yes
Is this content from local files, TIDAL, or Qobuz?
Local, CD-rip (FLAC)

Description of the issue
Unidentified performer: A,B&C.
Note that my other versions of this release are fine, and so is the Qobuz deluxe edition (XW version has 30 tracks, UK CD version has 31.)
The Qobuz release of the deluxe edition (30 tracks) doesn’t include this artist. In fact, the only Qobuz reference to A,B&C I could find is for a single release:
I have deleted the release, cleaned the library, and reimported, and this persists. However, when I connect to a second core on my laptop, using the same media files, this reference doesn’t occur. I’ve also cleared the cache.
I’m beginning to think that Clean up library is leaving artifacts for a given release even after deletion, since I have seen a classical work with an incorrectly formatted work that makes no sense to me.
I’ll probably trash my database and start over once I’ve written a script to import my Roon tags into the files (I hang on to my backups.)
This is a guess: your server is taking your ABC file tags and equivalencing them locally to the A,B&C artist already in your library, after performing some normalization to get the match. Did you have any other local (file) ABC content before adding this album?
