The Very Best of Bread

~ Release by Bread (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

1. Plain "Pickwick" logo, which I haven't seen on any other Pickwick release; different font, too
2. No logo on the disc or, presumably, anywhere else
3. Uneven padding all around the barcode
4. Unusual paper texture (although this could be down to scanning)
