I can check the tags from a linux console, I don't need a tagging program.
All of the files containg Sam Brown's album have:

ARTIST=Sam Brown
ALBUMARTIST=Sam Brown
ARTISTSORT=Brown, Sam
...
ARTIST[1]=Sam Brown
ARTISTSORT[1]=Brown, Sam
ARTIST[2]=Sam Brown
ARTISTSORT[2]=Brown, Sam

See above. All the albums have the tagging scheme above.

Can someone tell me what in the database I could look at to try to work out
what's going on?
