Yes I Know, but they issued what, seven tracks in this 2004 release? That's not the score.

Bizarre mind is perhaps a bit unfair, now that I think of it; it's the organization that is bizarre to me. Sorry about that.

Maybe it's the amount of work I did in so little time that's bizarre, anyway, thanks for helping.
