Album, Track Info.

Want to be able to sort my music chronologically, by original release dates. CDs usually show their release date (year) but not the original release date.
Even more problematic are collections/ anthologies. I need the original release date for each track, as well as which album they first appeared on. Imagine that I can use one or more of the "Sort by" categories to enter this info.
Previously unreleased tracks are a particularly difficult problem. I like to have the first release dates but I'd also like to to put them in better perspective with the artists recording history.
Right now I'm using Allmusic.com to get individual album and track info. but the process is slow and tedious. Any better suggestions?
Also need to know about how and when iTunes uses the "Sort by" categories and what the significance is and how to use and how iTunes uses checkmarks for them.
