The World of the Symphony: The Greatest Masterpieces of All Time (Re-issue (1998 Copyright on back of outer box))

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

The discs have individual catalog numbers, from 15 821 through 15 830. They also have individual UPC codes, in the form of 0 1811-(catalog number)-2 (check digit).

This is a re-issue of an earlier release by Laserlight Digital -- same cat#s, same barcodes and disc art. The only thing that seems to have changed is the different outer box art.

The box back cover shows "Delta Entertainment" and a 1998 Copyright. The company changed their name in 1996.
