Did some work on the discography today.  I went through and cleaned up all the links that you can buy albums from (for Black Sabbath - I'll deal with solo bands and projects next week).  Some of the links were wrong, and some titles are no longer carried.  Anyway, I now offer sales through both CDNow and Amazon.com.  There are links on each page's discography entry where you can buy them.  Only one Sabbath album is totally unavailable on the net (that I'm aware of) anymore, and that's Cross Purposes Live.
