Hey all.
I'm a new member/poster but have been a loooooong time unregistered lurker who never felt the need to register because I could get all my questions answered here by reading through this very educated and informed forum.
Many of you are amazing with the depth of knowledge you share with others here. It's a reminder of my days as a youth trying to find out every detail and historical "fact" of bands I loved as a pre-teen/teenager back in the late '70's and early eighties. Unfortunately with no internet, we had to rely on a few dedicated music mags/live shows and eventually the early days of MTV when they actually played music and even better, aired new and exciting bands rather than just covering the Billboard Top 100. Yes, I'm in my 40's.
Anyway, the point of my post is that I bought an .mp3 CD from an eBay seller by the name of "citycentreoffices" a few years ago and it has, from what I can tell, nearly everything in their early catalog (pre their first official relsease) plus some one-off rarities (Mask 500, XYZ, etc....).
The problem is that the songs aren't labeled (tagged) so it's hard to figure out what is what on there. The one thing I am certain of is that BOC Maxima is mixed as one long track. Is that correct?
Aside from that, it's tough to match up with the discography found via this website (Fredd-e's pages I believe.)
Has anyone else bought this and if so, any luck at correctly identifying the tracks? If I remember correctly, I think the eBay seller was actually someone from a record label in the U.K. because of an unrelated purchase I made directly from the label later on down the road which came with something like the same mailing address or something like that.
Sorry for the lengthy first post and thanks in advance for any assistance.
