The annotated Primus discography

This will list stuff done by Primus and its band members. The annotations are obtained from various places around the net. The way the discography is organised is as follows: for any album/item name, there is a short comments list, of which the song list is a part of. If there is sufficient information, a separate page will be created for the item and you will see a clickable link to this page. All comments related to the item will be on this page. Read the warnings before you buy any bootlegs.
