"Sounds of the 1590s"

Alright I'm getting on, but don't push it!
I've only just got round to running the manual out this evening, I note it should go from the '40's onwards, but it doesn't.
Of course, the real problem which "1590" touches upon is that many of the CDDB/freedb entries do the reverse, most of my swing and blues collection gives the re-issue date, as opposed to the original issue date, so all my Glenn Miller's are dated 1971, which should give the conspiracy theorists a field day!
