The Best of America: Centenary Collection

~ Release by America (see all versions of this release, 4 available)

Annotation

In my opinion the "Centenary Collection" is the same like the America "Gold Premium Collection". The cover is nearly the same, the tracks are the same but the date of release is different.

In my opinion in 1996 EMI Electrola release at first the Gold Premium Collection
