Listening to some tunes I´ve downloaded, I constantly marvel at how far off people´s notions of identity run. Would you think many people regard Eric Clapton as interchangeable with Dire Straits? Some of the mixups are hilarious, some plain sad, and you may be, yourself, unaware that the rare Dylan track you´ve got is actually a Donovan, and could probably invest some time checking what other mis-identified gems are lurking in your collection. I´ve never been in a library with such erroneous content as the WWW offers, but the positive side is I´ve discovered some Ry Cooder tracks (Roy Coder?) where Taj Mahal has been sitting in, and Van Morrison doing a duet with Bob Dylan, but I feel sorry for these amazingly good musicians who somehow have slipped through the cranial cracks into identity oblivion. Can we get your list of beauties? But can we also consider giving a grading to the sources, so I can avoid the `Solid Rock between the ears´ collectors? I´ve more than paid my dues to the recorded music business over the years; I´ve seen their quality and service evaporate; now I download; Can´t we just get some onto it librarians? or has that gone to the dogs as well? Nuff said.
