      It would be useful if MusicBrainz had an option to show releases and recordings of a person, who is a member of a group. For example, The Carpenters shows numerous releases and recordings, whereas Karen Carpenters shows relatively few. The rationale is:

      1. Sometimes a group appears with a guest artist, the latter is shown as a release/recording artist, whereas the members of the group are not.
      2. A group is an alias for the names of the individuals that make it up
      3. It credits the musicans who perform

      I'd like to see the Releases and Recordings pages, show:

      1. Releases as an individual
      2. Releases as a member of Group
      3. Releases as a performer

      eg.

      1. Releases as Karen Carpenter
      2. Releases as The Carpenters (member)
      2. Releases as The Carpenters (performer)

      I recognise there may be a problem with individuals who have left a group, and should not be related to all releases/recordings.
