Sources of information

through the closed container (including information on the front cover of a booklet

without a collective title on the label(s), do not consider as a collective title a title
on the container or accompanying material that is made up of the name of the type plus
one or more of the following identifying elements for the two works: serial number, opus
number, thematic index number, key.

6.1B1:CSB44
If the chief source shows the name of an author or the name of a performer
before the titles of the individual works and there is doubt whether the publisher, etc.,
intended the name to be a collective title proper or a statement of responsibility, treat
the name as the title proper. Exception: If the works listed are musical compositions
and the name is that of the composer of the works, treat the name as a statement of
responsibility in cases of doubt.
If the chief source being followed is the label of a sound recording and the
decision is to treat the name as a title proper but one name appears on the label of one
side and another name on the second side, transcribe the two names as individual titles
(separated by a period-space).

The rule allows performers who do more than perform to be named in the
statement of responsibility. Accept only the most obvious cases as qualifying for the
statement of responsibility.
