The files come in untagged. iTunes can't tell the difference between the files. I ended up trashing the originals and losing all the metadata. Now I wish I'd kept the original. Archive.org saves the day by providing the tagged original: http://archive.org/details/DjDangerMouse-TheGreyAlbum I feel this was really let down by bad metadata.
