Ultimate ’80s (Collector’s Edition)

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

Annotation

A Digipak in a tin box. The Digipak has its own cat# / barcode: TCD2 53462 / 628261346226, which suggests that what makes this a Collector's Edition is... the tin box.

It's a Madacy release so, naturally, these are mostly re-recordings (except 1.2, 1.8–2.3, 2.5 & 2.6, 2.9 & 2.10, 3.3, 3.5 & 3.6, which are live recordings.)

Note that there's also a tin box release on the Sonoma budget label (STC2 0776 / 803151077620) with the same title but a totally different tracklist.
