If the cover of a split has both band names and "Split 7 Inch", do we name it after the other band or take "Split 7 Inch" as the title?
I've just added these to the queue and called them 'Ducky Boys' and 'The Bruisers', but it now occurs to me that those might not be the correct titles.

To me this is a judgment call with two possibilities:
1) The proper global title (because it appears on both sides) of the entire release is "Split 7 Inch"
or
2) The "split 7 inch" text is mere surplus text to explain what the release is.
In the absence of clarity, I'm leaning toward 2), which means that we'd use the default naming scheme for splits (the other band's name).
Like I said though, I think either is reasonable.
