Indeed. I'm not so much worried about the compilations as I am the original albums and soundtracks.

As for years with multiple releases, I had done a good job throughout the Eastgate Years of following exactly when TD, PPM, and Jerome releases came out, so I knew they were at least in order of release. We can use the Eastgate catalog numbers to help us out there, but if the best we have is "June," it's still going to involve some guesswork. The Froese solo albums should be easy enough to figure out, and we have a fairly good idea of when albums like Stratosfear were recorded.

What I'm more worried about is all the stuff in the Blue Years where, let's say, The Park Is Mine sounds pre-Firestarter, Flashpoint, Le Parc, but the movie didn't come out until later. I remember I had Canyon Dreams as just after US and the following tour, but I don't remember, aside from the sound of it, why I had it there instead of after one of the other soundtracks. Then there are just so many OSTs from 1987 and I have no idea when they were done.

Also, was US really recorded between the legs of the tour from which Vault 4 was derived? Or is that just an assumption? I see a lot of assumed recording dates for things out there but it was only through discussion on here that we were able to get a much better idea when these things probably happened.

If I remember right, which I may not, I had, from that general time period:
Wavelength
Hyperborea
Risky Business
Poland
TPiM
Firestarter
Flashpoint
Le Parc
Heartbreakers (???)
Legend
1986 tour Part 1
US
Dolpjhin Smile (as an extra from the US sessions)
1986 tour Part 2
Canyon Dreams
...Ugh ... Tyger?
Shitloads of other OSTs? I had an order for these but I do not remember it...
Livemiles Part 2
Livemiles Part 1 as a 1988 collection of late-1987 bits from what was to be the next album until Franke left
Optical Race
Rockface???
Miracle Mile
Lily
East or Destination Berlin
Melrose
OSTS released in early-90s but which may have been recorded earlier...

This also doesn't take into account the Trees, though we can obviously derive some information from the breaks in touring schedules.
