Rock & Roll - Classics

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

Annotation

Probably to merge with discs 1 and 2. (Two 2-disc jewel cases each featuring a barcode, definitely available in slipcased 4-disc set, extensive cover art. Very little web match. Not sure what "P and C" is but the discs are clearly from Disky.)
