I see what you mean, but for tracktitles written with roman characters we tend to enter exactly what is given in the tracklist, even in cases where the usage of all caps seems more like a generic than a conscious choice. For other fields such as the album display title and the notes field it is of lesser importance though.

on most of the other tracklists I've seen here, there has at least been an attempt to match the names up with the American version.
This should only be true when the tracktitle in question is not written in roman characters. If the tracklist explicitly states "Dr. Right", then we should go with that, even though it's a pretty clear spelling error. Basically, if we can figure out what it's really 'supposed' to say, then other fans will likely have no problems either and can choose themselves how to use or further spread the given information.

My apologies if this isn't a good thing, but against all the other instances of Americanization and full capitalization, it seemed like the right thing to do.
Oh yeah, this certainly seems like a more correct tracklist - in all its all caps glory =)
