Bing Sings 96 of His Greatest Hits

~ Release by Bing Crosby (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Box with rigid cardboard slipcover.

The track order is designed with an automatic record changer in mind. The intended listening order is the first sides of all the records in order, record 1 through 8. Then flip the stack over and listen to the second sides of all the records, starting with record 8 through to record 1.

Track times are not listed on the release, I've added the track times of my vinyl rip.
