   Updated albums 4 & 5 from Julien's list of 52 albums:
https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=18885:

This had just "Track title" as track 2.
I also added in the track listing of the 12" single version, & the correct release references for the first issues of both versions, from Discogs.

https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=19911:

No track listing at all (just had the word 'unknown' written there).
I also added the correct release reference from Discogs, and swapped a tiny (and blurred after being enlarged) cover photo for the one from RYM's page for the album.

Edit: Albums 6 & 7 now also updated:

https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=20113:

This had 'Track title' as name of track 1, no track 2 'B' side song title, incorrect releases info, and a lousy cover.
See: https://www.discogs.com/master/439906-Horslips-Loneliness.

https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=24672:

This had the default text still showing at bottom of track list field
1. Track title (3:04)
2. Track title (9:07)

Also no total times, & no releases info.

See: https://www.discogs.com/release/4755433-Ekseption-The-Lost-Last-Live-Concert-Tapes.

The first eight albums in the list have now all been updated.

Edit 2: I've also had a look at album 9 in the list: https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=26402. It just says 'no info' in both the track listing and musicians info fields, and 'self-released' in the releases info. I couldn't find the detailed information for this album anywhere on line, but it did exist, the cover is correct, and 2002 was the correct year of release.

See: https://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/1312600-discover--the-monroe-transfer, and an interview conducted in November 2006 with the band's leader - a guy named Nick Gill:

"There were two little albums before 'Electric Old Wire Noise', but they were just made by me, in my lonely room, on a load of crap equipment, with very little idea of what I was doing. There was one called 'wedontknowhowyoufindtimeforallofuslordbutweregratefulthatyoudo' and the second was '67 moons', and there were 50 and 67 copies of them, respectively. At that point I'd never thought of playing live, so there wasn't really any way I could try to sell loads of them; besides, I was making everything, burning all the CDs and making the sleeves by hand, so it seemed sensible to only make a few. They were a bit noisier, and certainly more amateurishly produced, than our actual album. There are a few clips of things on our website, but I don't think we have any particular plans to make anything available. We're still very small and insecure – maybe if we get a bit more established, we'd be confident enough to let early, rougher material out into the world. Most of the stuff we play live is on the first two albums, in early form, though."

Their website died a death circa 2018, and their Facebook hasn't seen any activity since a single post in August 2020, and that was the first one since September 2017, so there seems little point trying to contact them for information. Nick Gill does also have his own personal Facebook page, but he's never posted anything on it other than a profile picture and a cover photo (though he does have 467 friends, so I guess he must use it). I'll message him about the '67 Moons' track list, but I'm not really expecting a reply from him.

The first 'real' album the band released was thus 'Electric Old Wire Noise' in 2005.

I can tell you that there were 33 tracks on '67 Moons' and just 67 copies were made - all in handmade sleeves, and all sold. See the Internet Archive capture of their old Myspace page here. The musicians info would need to say something like: - Nick Gill / all instruments, since he made the album himself in his bedroom. All I can think of for the track list would be to include something like:

Regarding the 'wedontknowhowyoufindtimeforallofuslordbutweregratefulthatyoudo' album: https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=26401, that unwieldly title is screwing up the alignment of all the album cover images to the right of it on the main page. I'd be inclined to include a space in the middle to force the title where it appears underneath the cover image into two lines, so that it's shown there just as it is on the album cover itself:

wedontknowhowyoufindtimeforallof
uslordbutweregratefulthatyoudo

The album title won't look quite right in the heading at the top of the page if you do this, but I think that would be better than the mess we've got at the moment.

Otherwise maybe you could just write the title abbreviated as: "wedontknowhowyou...weregratefulthatyoudo", or "wedontknowhowyoufindtimeforallofuslord...", which should condense it sufficiently so that it doesn't wreck the album alignment on the page, whilst still keeping it as a single line without any spaces.

Other amendments needed on that same album page are the number of copies made (50, not 60) and year of release (2001, not 2002). See the archived Myspace link again for confirmation of that. Once again the musicians info for that album would just be: - Nick Gill / all instruments.

The last thing you might want to consider doing is to update the artist photo on their main page. It's a very small 176x226 image, and looks pretty awful when blown up to full size on the page.

This one is from their Facebook:

Full size image is 720x720, and can be found here. You could always crop some of the tree trunk off the image to bring the musicians more into focus.

The top image actually looks the sharper of the two as they are displayed here in this post, but once the PA software has done its resizing work with them, the bottom one would probably look sharper on the actual page itself - especially if you crop it yourself from the original full sized image on Facebook.
