Your filter works, and is more efficient than my finding the albums by scanning the headers. And then processing one album at a time. Though one can remove and undo only about 150 tracks at a time. Two problems though. (1) The headers that Easy CD-DA Extractor created wrong are still out there. As discussed in:

Every album I ripped or converted from 2006 to Fall 2013, and didn't subsequently edit with Tag&Rename has this problem. The fix is easy. Open the editor in Tag&Rename, then save. It is annoying to have to deal with them when they pop up. I'd rather find a way to find these corrupted headers and fix them all at once, instead of stumbling on them when doing something else.

(2) One can only remove and undo a block at a time. I was doing 169 at a time, but after a while Mp3tag bogged down and slowed to an imperceptibe crawl. Like it was leaking memory. A check in Task Manager found Mp3tag was using 1.2 GB RAM. So I had to close Mp3tag and open and start again.
