All files/tracks have similar tags (artist tag, MB artist id tag, MB album tag, albumartist, NO MB albumartist id.
Album Artist (Dr, Demento) was added to the artist table 14 times. The MB artist id field was set to each of the 14 unique MB artist ids. The entry for the first track was used as the album artist (MB artist is for "The Chipmunks", as set on track 1).
The track artist was NOT added to the artist table.
There was no "compilation" tag. I edited the tags to add the COMPILATION = 1, rescanned and cleaned but it had on effect on the database (other than updated the album compilation field of course).
I have some other albums with problems. I will update this post with findings as I examine my database.
Update 1. Album Queen of Jazz

In this case two artist table entries for "Ella Fitzgerald", one with MB Artist id set to the one for Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra, the other with MB Artist id set to the one for Ella Fitzgerald. Again the first entry was used as the album artist and "Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra" was not added to the artists table. (I note that the song artist string is correct in all instances).
