"In our effort to bring you the original albums for the cost of a single CD, we have omitted one selection due to the length of the combined original albums." Stated in the booklet but wrong - both albums are featured completely on this CD.

The durations on CD face and back cover differ slightly.

Jewel case.

Please note, there is a similar release with different durations printed on the CD face, a different barcode and made by a different manufacturer. This one was made by JVC.

Although this issue contains the advisory, "IN OUR EFFORT TO BRING YOU THE ORIGINAL ALBUMS FOR THE COST OF A SINGLE CD, WE HAVE OMITTED ONE SELECTION DUE TO THE LENGTH OF THE COMBINED ORIGINAL ALBUMS.", my perusal of the tracklists for the two original albums reveals no track that was not included in this 2-for-1 release.
