The Ultimate Collection

~ Release by Dusty Springfield (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

This release's first two discs are identical to (and share discIDs with) 40 Original Hits, another Universal compilation that could be considered to be a reissue.

The back panel's track listing for d2 t13-20 is incorrect (scrambled, and with tracks that aren't included) and to ignore; fortunately they figured it out by the time they got around to the booklet.
