I ordered this 9 CD set last spring. All KQxxK and KRxxK endings were missing.
Those don't worry me too much. The only other missing ending was the KBBKR
ending, which I think should have been included (I went and downloaded it from
Bob's site). I told Convekta about the oversight, so maybe now it's being
included on the CD's.
