    An album this groundbreaking deserves a lineup at least this good. Thanks for this.

    I'm trying to fix up this release on musicbrainz.org and am confused by the track lengths. Did you make these MP3s from an original medium? CD or LP?

    For example, track B6 (A Day in the Life by The Fall) is 3:56 according to the sleeve, but 4:22 according to the MP3 file. The latter would fit with other recordings of that song by The Fall…

    Thanks for your help.

    Rob, I ripped this one from the original LP. I hadn't noticed the difference you mention in the track lengths, so I guess it's an error in the sleave printing.
