 * Keep Per WP:MUSIC#5 - band has released two albums on the EMI label.  Lugnuts  (talk) 06:39, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment According to the article, there's only ONE album, Join Us, which had been released on the EMI label. "Wit-lof from Belgium, vol.1: 50's - 60's CD Compilatie, 1990 EMI 794 043" mentioned later is not a studio album of The Klan but rather a compilation of songs by various artists.--Licory (talk) 14:41, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

"Join Us", The Klan, PALETTE RECORDS, VRT & SIMIM/IFPI, Belgian State Music Archives  Raoniz (talk) 17:53, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep (per article's author). # MPB 3020: The Klan / Join Us / L.P. Album / Belgium / 1966 is the second album released on a major label: PALETTE RECORDS BMG UNIVERSAL MUSIC (BMG(the world's third largest music publisher and the world's largest independent music publisher), UNIVERSAL MUSIC(the largest business group and family of record labels in the recording industry. It is the largest of the "big four" record companies by its commanding market share and its multitude of global operations (from Wikipedia)).
 * Question- Which album is the first and which is the second? Join us of EMI or Join us of PALETTE RECORDS BMG UNIVERSAL MUSIC ? IMHO, they are the same album, with the EMI version being a re-release. In fact it's not only my personal opinion, It could be clearly assumed  from the link you provided us. -Licory (talk) 18:23, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

"Remaster (and its derivations, frequently found in the phrases digitally remastered or digital remastering) is a word marketed mostly in the digital audio age, although the remastering process has existed since recording began. Frequently advertised with regard to CD and DVD releases, remastering has become a powerful buzzword in multimedia industries, and it generally implies quality enhancement of sound to a previously existing recording (frequently designed to encourage people to buy a new version on a new release) (from Wikipedia)". Raoniz (talk) 20:52, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In 1981, E.M.I. remastered, in Stereo and with a quality enhancement of sound, the L.P. Album of The Klan (Belgian band). The master tape was subjected to further electronic treatment by specialist mastering engineers. EMI released a new version of the Album because the original mastering was Mono.
