What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing describes a CD release, while the customer-feedback summary refers to a vinyl album. Treat the reported format-specific impressions cautiously. The supplied track listing assigns all 18 songs to disc 1 despite stating there are two discs, so confirm the track layout if disc-by-disc placement matters.

Buyers who want the listed classic tracks in one compilation.

Less suited to

Listeners shopping specifically for vinyl, as the product listing identifies this release as a CD.

Frequently asked questions

How many discs and tracks are listed?

The listing states two discs and names 18 tracks. Its track data places every entry under disc 1, so the division between discs is unclear.

Is this a CD or vinyl release?

The product details identify it as a CD. The customer-feedback summary calls it a vinyl album, so its format-related impressions may not apply to this listed edition.

Which songs are included?

Named tracks include “Hey Porter”, “I Walk The Line”, “Big River”, “Ring Of Fire” and “The Ballad Of Ira Hayes”. The full supplied list appears in the specifications.
