Greatest Hits, Volume 2

~ Release by Paul McCartney (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Are you sure that's a 4 CD release?
By looking at https://www.discogs.com/de/Paul-McCartney-Greatest-Hits-Vol-2/master/543699 I can only find 2 disc releases.

This entry seems to include http://musicbrainz.org/release/d8916d0f-8c82-44e2-953a-779126f012bc?tport=8000 on discs 1+2 and "Greatest Hits Vol. 2" on discs 3+4.

I'd suggest to remove discs 1+2 and to use use equal naming for Vol 1 and 2. Any regrets?
