The World of Soul / Hold On, I’m Comin’ (disc 1)

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

Annotation

Per this discogs entry and release titles, these are likely found as a set of 4, though since each disc has a barcode (and its own discogs entry) it may be they were sold separately. Inconclusive.

** NB: MERGE TRACKS with CAUTION **

Each back panel states clearly "This CD contains both original and tracks that have been re-recorded. All single artist tracks are performed by the original artist. Tracks performed by groups feature either all, or as many as possible, of the original group members." (Likely many bad merges already out there).
