BTW, does anyone with an IQ over 30 own these albums???  Not only do I
only own the Tool album, which actually is good...but save for an old
vinyl Aerosmith of "Toys In the Attic", I haven't a solitary sound from
any of the other artists.  That is quite a difficult event also, as I am
proud possessor of over 2000 vinyl albums and 500+ CDs.  Also, the
reason for the misspelled names is that both the artist and listener
don't know how to spell, so it really makes no difference.
