I don't think "when indicating an equal collaboration" makes things any clearer. Is Natalie Cole's duet with her father "and" since the recordings were done decades apart. Is Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach's - God Give Me Strength "&" because they wrote it together via fax? > Maybe we can use the ampersand version when different > versions are used on different records?

What do you mean by "when different versions are used on different records?" or "And use any other version". Versions of what? What's printed on the release?
