What Bandcamp preserves
Bandcamp is unusually valuable because a release page can preserve date, title, track grouping, lyrics, dedication, credits, tags and storefront identity in one witness. The profile also describes JQD as a “self-taught integrated media company” founded in Lost Eros, making the storefront itself part of the corpus's person/brand/institution language.

Early Scaled Alps archaeology
Cynical Ploy remains especially useful because its credit names JQD as Cagliostro and Proteus III on guitar, materially anchoring personae that also exist in the writing. Used Inventory survives from the same early music/archive zone.
Lyrics as archival evidence
D'Ivoire demonstrates why the storefront matters to the lyric project: a lyric can survive on Bandcamp even when it is absent from later liner books or album players. Bandcamp lyric text should therefore be treated as its own lyric witness, not silently normalized to a later sung or printed state.
