Annotation

*** MERGE WARNING ***
Cover art states prominently and repeatedly "original artists" (which is not necessarily the same as "original recordings"). Label is very well known for knock-off re-recordings featuring "one or more members of the original group", though no such disclaimer seems to appear here
