~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

provenance unclear; label added in original add edit 13733673 (2011) with a label parent, and the barcode doesn't lead to any links with real cover art to determine; there is this discogs entry showing a similar stock cover to the barcode results and the same track list, but it's a NL release with barcode 5021364190522

note that at least one ASIN comment on a 2CD release matched by ("US") barcode (where this CD was d1) would suggest that these may be re-recordings; no valid licensing details on extant cover art at above discogs link
