Display Page elements on home page for record label catalogue

    I am setting up a site for a record label.
    Each of the labels releases will get their own Page listing feauting the following elements (using a custom field for each perhaps?)…
    1. Title
    2. Cd Cover image
    3. Track Listing
    4. Format
    5. Release date.

    Is it possible to list in the sidebar throughout the site the 5 most recent releases (and show just the title and cd cover?).

    So in essence – create a sidebar element that pulls the right content elements from all of the release Pages?

    I am unsure of whether using a Page with Custom Fields is the right approach? Any help ideas on how best to achieve this appreciated.

    It should be possible, yes.

    Not if you ultimately want to shop this list on the site’s sidebar. I’d suggest using get_posts with custom fields.

    Here is an example of what I am trying to achieve…
    This is a page showcasing a cd…

    http://www.subpop.com/releases/grand_archives/full_lengths/keep_in_mind_frankenstein

    Now on the homepage – you can see the cd cover, title and some intro text taken from the release page and displayed in a list with some other recent releases.

    http://www.subpop.com/

    Does this make sense? I just need a suggestion as the best way to do this – Pages for each. Posts for each etc…
