The Emotion Collection: Promises

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

Annotation

The booklet only references the Netherlands (where Time Life is based) & the discs state Made in Germany, whilst the back cover does not state a country (in the middle of the text block on other versions).

The cd case is a thicker than usual jewel case, opening unconventionally from the back for cd2. It is like 2 slimline cases back to back.
