Annotation

Barcodes -- disc 1: 8712155035784, disc 2: 8712155035791, disc 3: 8712155035807

This release is three distinct 'entities'. Each disc has its own barcode and cat. no. Each disc also carries a number as part of the cover info. i.e. CD-1, CD-2, CD-3. The three discs may have been in a sleeve originally (I only have one so I can't tell), and if so the sleeve probably had a barcode for the pack. Given the numbers unique to each disc it feels wrong to make it a single release.
