Notes

This huge (20 disc) boxset (Fitzgerald only has one disc) was sold in French malls (Carrefour) - note an international edition existed at some point.
To some extent, this was carefully compiled and is not as indecent as the look suggests...
Still a Reader's Digest like bundle, though...

This is the first edition of this box - "Tirage limité"
