(No I did not buy the catalog from Michael Jackson). 1300 tracks, half of which had bad or no tags. Not anymore: hours of editing. (yes I should get a life).

This must be the majority of every known existing recording of the fab 4, and believe me, the rehearsals are often very far from fabulous!

They can be replaced easily. (I probably never do – life is too short to listen to bad music and mediocre artists.)]]>
