Just to expand and explain on that, Banshee is handling things correctly 
at the moment - you've got different albums with different artists, so 
it assumes they're different albums (e.g. I think there are multiple 
"The White Album" albums, not just the Beatles). The "Compilation Album 
Artist" is intentionally there for a) full compilations with a complete 
mix of artists and b) "featuring..." tracks where you want to record the 
featured artist, but keep the track as part of the same album. The 
former normally gets "Various" or similar in the "Compilation artist" 
while the latter will get the name of the main band as the compilation 
artist.

Hope that helps and explains things :)
