Indeed I saw this, Aaron, but I'm somewhat confused...

What label has released these new CDs? A search on amazon (my lazy litmus test) has not revealed to me *any* of that kind of consumer-oriented information! Perhaps it is the name itself that has made searching difficult?!

Again, thanks for pointing out this new (to me) information. I think this project is growing exponentially!

album was originally released, etc.

I'm about to send the latest draft of the list...So, you'll see what I mean.

Thanks. This sounds worthwhile!
