Annotation

Label: Savoy Jazz - Catalog #: SV-0163 - Format: CD - UPC: 081757016322
Additional:
The given UPC is dubious, and turns out mainly 13 tracks version (with additional Boneology), or the current 12 tracks version.
Given Savoy history at messing things, though, it wouldn't be too surprising they reused the UPC...
