20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best of Doo Wop

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

The cover lists only 12 tracks. The CD has 13, but the twelfth and thirteenth tracks are a single song that is split over two CD tracks. The song is split in mid-line, and it seems likely that it is a manufacturing defect.
