Manufactured for MCA Records, Inc. "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.
