What about if you change this last line to be:

    titles = MultipleJoin('TapeTitle',joinColumn='artist_id',joinMethodName='titles')

?

If this is the joinMethodName bug, then it is fixed in SVN.

There is a seperate problem that's been referred to in this thread which is
that many people find the existing docs confusing because the examples don't
use joinColumn, and rely instead on the SQL having just the right names in
it already so that SQLObject automatically guesses them.  Judging from the
fact you had code working in 0.5.2, I don't think this is relevant to your
problem.
