Commentthis is a revised upgrade for the collection already in database, since track list varied significantly, i added it (this is the date of latest revision)...

I have taken quite a few months to research dates and sources for this compilation. Although
some of the early recording dates and sketchy, I have been working with Jeff Morris and his
original notes, Dave "Elvis" Rossi and Jared Marker. I also researched numerous websites,
books, newsgroups and actual copyright dates to be as accurate as I possibly can. if you have
any additional information, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME! It's extremely important to me to
get this as accurate as possible. I'm looking for upgrades for anything on this collection.
In the last week alone, I spent 21 1/2 hours working on this little project. (just editing and speed
correcting , not research!) I will continue to add and update this collection until I feel it's perfect.
