Here's a bug.

A quick summary of the problem would be: When browsing by Album Artist,
only 'full' albums and compilation albums where an artist is a track
artist are listed; but non-compilation albums where they're track
artists are not. When browsing by All Artists, the album lists are shown
correctly.

This is reminiscent of the pre-7.9 issue where only track artists from
compilations are suppressed from the artist list when the option 'Group
compilation albums together' is set. And I'll contend for the umpteenth
time that the 'track artist' contributor role is unnecessary and only
makes the query logic more convoluted than it needs to be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The detailed explanation, with how the albums are tagged:

Artists George Adams and Don Pullen recorded together frequently, so I
created an ALBUMARTIST with the name of 'Geaorge Adams & Don Pullen'.
The two artists also recorded many albums without the other. The
collaboration albums are tagged:

ALBUMARTIST=George Adams & Don Pullen
ALBUMARTISTSORT=Adams, George & Pullen, Don
ARTIST=George Adams
ARTIST=Don Pullen

The albums with George Adams alone is tagged:

ALBUMARTIST=George Adams
ALBUMARTISTSORT=Adams, George
ARTIST=George Adams
ARTISTSORT=Adams, George

Don Pullen's albums:

ALBUMARTIST=Don Pullen
ALBUMARTISTSORT=Pullen, Don
ARTIST=Don Pullen
ARTISTSORT=Pullen, Don

When I browse either 'George Adams' or 'Don Pullen' under Album Artists,
the collaboration albums are not listed. When browsing either artist
under All Artists, they are listed.
