Greatest Hits of the 80s, Volume 5

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

Annotation

I spent too much time trying to track this album down on Discogs....

I would doubt that this release actually exists at all... except...

Somehow... There is an attached Disc ID for this release... however, I can not actually find the edit which added it to MusicBrainz

https://musicbrainz.org/search/edits?auto_edit_filter=&order=desc&negation=0&combinator=and&conditions.0.field=type&conditions.0.operator=%3D&conditions.0.args=55%2C232&conditions.1.field=release&conditions.1.operator=%3D&conditions.1.name=Greatest+Hits+of+the+80s%2C+Volume+5&conditions.1.args.0=1006948&field=Please+choose+a+condition

(It doesn't show up either when you click "Editing history", I looked though all of those edits manually.)

There isn't an edit for "Set track times" either... but this release *does* have the track times set based on the Disc ID...
