Four Classic Albums

~ Release by Abbey Lincoln (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

The Discogs link for the only Avid Jazz Abbey Lincoln Four Classic Albums release is https://www.discogs.com/release/12471140. However that release has the catalog number incorrectly printed as AMSC1302, which is consistent with Avid Jazz's ordinary practice. The catalog number on the spine and the back of the tray card is EMSC1302. That may be a typo, but there is no other catalog number printed anywhere on the packaging or the discs themselves. The only number listed is EMSC1302. In addition, the barcode listed on Discogs for this release appears to have been incorrectly transcribed, so the barcode for this release has been faithfully transferred from the back of the jewel case as 5022810723523, which is a valid EAN code.
