Greatest Hits Volume I & Volume II (Longer edit of Captain Jack)

~ Release by Billy Joel (see all versions of this release, 32 available)

Annotation

In double jewel case. Same as version bdffd44c-4131-3cad-b4f4-0e4e58b5393d except longer version of Captain Jack. If Wikipedia's to be believed, that makes this a good candidate for the original 1985 version, and that a good candidate for the 1998 remaster.
