http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release?recording=4c70d157-6a4c-4d34-9970-61a3721f9542&inc=labels+artist-credits&type=album
would expect to include
<release-group type="Album"/>

Support 'release-groups' inc parameter for /ws/2/release browsing
I think this should allow inc=release-groups. Allowing that gives the following XML:
