CD Lookup showing Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" instead of "Fleetwood Mac"

Yeah I'm a newbie. Trying to import Fleetwood Mac's 1975 "Fleetwood Mac" into itunes. When asked: Would you like to import the CD "Fleetwood Mac" into your itunes library? Yes

It imported CD, but it came in with the song list from "Rumours" instead of "Fleetwood Mac". Then when I played the songs off of itunes (versus CD), indeed the actual imported song is from my CD, not the playlist shown. E.g. track 4 plays "Rhiana" versus Rumours "Don't Stop".

Is this a common problem? Is my only fix to individually go into each track and correct it? How does this carry into "Match" and playing off my other devices?

It is a mismatch in the CDDB database that iTunes draws from. I always prefered WMPs version which previews the artwork and track listing and lets you choose when there are multiple matches. You will need to manually correct the details. I don't have iTunes Match, so I can't say for certain, but I suspect it will work from audio fingerprint rather than any CDDB lookup.
