Some groundwork to start....


When deciding between different candidates for an original release, I personally default to an artist's own release over various artists compilations. I also prefer albums over EPs, EPs over singles. For my notes, I will often prefer (e.g.) a later album over an earlier lead single, but I do not treat as errors for SHS purposes.


From experience, SHS strongly prefers an artist's own releases over various artists compilations; however, can and (if so) how can this preference be rebutted?


Are there general rules of rebuttal that apply for all/most of SHS preferences?

Found this looking for another earlier thread. No responses after over six months. Sad....
