Set the Record Straight

It's 1998, and the record is wrong. The official credits lie: a front, a pen name, a studio figurehead, a borrowed name. You're the researcher who sets them straight. Armed with a period search engine and a desk full of webpages, Usenet posts, zines, liner notes, and clippings, you work an anthology of self-contained cases. Read first. Then fill the master credit sheet in three parts: who was credited, what really happened, and who really did the work. No twitch. No fail state. Just documents, photographs, and deduction.How it plays - Trawl a hand-built 1998 web: webpages, Usenet, zines, clippings, and liner notes, all cross-referenced. - Correct the record in three parts: who was credited, what really happened, and who really did the work. - No guessing your way through: corrections confirm only in batches, and the name and the reason must both check out. - Name the faces: track down the photographs, then work out who stood where. - An anthology: self-contained cases across music, film, comics, theatre, and architecture.
