If I understand correctly there is no RDA rule that is equivalent to AACR's 
21.23C1 "If a sound recording containing works by different persons or bodies 
has a collective title, enter it under the heading for the person or body 
represented as principal performer" So if I had a recording by a pop singer 
(place your favorite singer here) singing various jazz songs by different 
composers that singer would be regarded as a "performer" contributing to an 
expression and coded in MARC tag 700. Correct? If this is correct, this will 
create a lot of problems for libraries who shelve their material by either 
"main entry" or via some means of cuttering.
