How do I access the Gracenote list of album names after I've imported my CD under the wrong album name?

iTunes 12.8.0150

macOS High Siera Version 10.13.6

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch Late 2013)

I imported a CD under the wrong name. So, I highlighted the album > Delete> move files to trash. I noticed something odd. The deleted files were not in the trash can. Anyway, I reinserted the disc thinking I'd get the Gracenote List of album titles, but iTunes started importing the songs under the incorrect album name. How do I fix this?

Re-insert the CD. Click the gear icon and choose Get Track Names. The same multiple choices that you saw on the original import will pop up again. This time, choose the correct one. That will overwrite the data.

Manually entering the correct info is pointless because iTunes still recognizes the album as something else. Therefore, if I happen to hit "Get Track Names", iTunes will overwrite the correct info with the wrong info.

YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT. Whatever I manually type as the "correct" info is wrong because I don't have access the track list. It's only available in the Gracenote Database (not the iTunes store, nor anywhere else online) because the CD is an audiobook. I want to know how to access Gracenote's list of album names after I've imported my CD under the wrong name? I need a straight forward answer to my question, not a wisecrack.
