Original Album Classics (Cheap Trick / In Color / Heaven Tonight / All Shook Up / Next Position Please)

~ Release by Cheap Trick (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Includes 5 albums from the Epic years, omitting At Budokan, Dream Police and One On One out of the chronological order.
CD1-CD4 are the remastered issues from 1998 & 2006.
CD5 is previously unavailable on CD.
All CD's come in single cardboard sleeves, using the original LP artwork, and not stating the complete tracklising (seen on box cover). There is a note saying which of the tracks are not on the original albums, however CD5 is missing that information (It is 5:7 and 5:14 that are new to the re-issue of CD5).
