Hello World: The Motown Solo Collection

~ Release by Michael Jackson (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

The packaging is actually a Digibook (not quite a Digipack).

Catalogue # is the same for both labels, however the imprint on discs says Motown (no mention to Hip-O Select).
