Definitely using ALBUMARTIST not BAND and the files are all FLAC. At the
moment I'm resorting to setting COMPILATION=0 for these cases. But this
is not ideal as I don't actually want all the track artists in the
Artists list (in many cases the track in question is the only one I
have by the track artist). To be clear, if I have other albums (that
are not compilations) by then I get the behaviour I expect. So, for
example, with "Group compilation albums together" I have:

Case 1 - Fatboy Slim
I have a number of Fatboy Slim albums but also a compilation album (On
the Floor at the Boutique) which is tagged with COMPILATION=1 and
ALBUMARTIST=Fatboy Slim. This album appears under Fatboy Slim not under
Various Artists

Case 2 - Lee "Scratch" Perry
I have a compilation album The Essential Lee Perry, which is tagged
COMPILATION=1 and ALBUMARTIST=Lee Perry, but no other albums
exclusively by Lee Perry (although he does appear as a track artist on
this and a few other compilation albums). Lee Perry does not appear in
my artist list and the album appears under Various Artists. I would
expect it to appear under Lee Perry. If I set COMPILATION=0, then Lee
Perry does appear in my artists, but so does Junior Byles, The
Hurricanes and a whole lot of other artists I would prefer not to have
in my artists list as their are too few tracks by them.
