'The Great Rock Discography' by M.C. Strong?  That book is so ridiculously

riddled with stupid errors (some of which are apparently intentional to

discourage copyright violation) that I consider it fairly worthless as a

serious, reliable reference.  There's at least one mistake in damn near

every single entry.  I've been tempted to make a list of all the mistakes,

but I have other things that I need to do during the next three years.  If

it says that Ginger Baker was in Atomic Rooster, it's a pretty safe

assumption that he WASN'T.
