Super Stars of Seventies Soul

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

Annotation

Easier to locate with a search on "Superstars of Seventies Soul", this box set is something of a mystery. There is no indication where the OP sourced the entity. The only link showing the same cover art is the ASIN, no back cover image there. Discogs has an entry for the same tracklist plus a 4th disc, and the submitter states that the 4th disc was not listed on the back panel, but the artwork uses a different color scheme and the barcode is different (826663400229). But discogs also has an entry for a sampler using this same barcode...
