I agree, Peace, that details about the song should accompany the recording. The publishers should require proper data.

Unfortunately, when it gets to the manufacturing, labeling and packaging stage, the people involved may know nothing about the music, but a lot about appearance of packaging prepared for sale to an impulse-buying public, about keeping costs down, and marketing.
I have bought a number of cds, attractively presented, but with no information on content except song title and name of singer or group. Even major producers, like EMI, disappoint in this regard.
