Note: Sorry, but none of these titles are available for sale or trade. Later, perhaps, I'll mark my favorites and classify the music contained in these CDs, and/or add song tracks and times to some (all?) of the entries. Every once in a while, though, I hit a jackpot. I tend to go hunting at used CD stores, and buy CDs that look interesting but I've never heard of before, so there are a lot of little-known (and often really bad) CDs listed here. Soundtracks and compilations, with no particular author, are listed at the bottom as various. Singles (title in double quotes) are listed before the album they appear in. The year of publication is listed in parenthesis after the single/album name (a question mark means that, strangely enough, no year is given). Special albums/singles like extended plays, live albums, bootlegs, or imports are listed. (Yes, I own a lot.) Singles are listed before albums. Here's a complete list of the CDs that I own, sorted in alphabetical order based on the group name and then by year of publication. Erik Max Francis' CD list Erik Max Francis' CD list
