Anniversary issue in a slighty different sleeve ?
I thought this was going to be in a booklet type of sleeve but it isn't quite.
The discs are in a miniature LP 'sleeve' but no 'inner sleeves' ala Jaapan releases [I made two !].
Which slides out of a thin box 'cover' and the booklet is inside as well.
The actual album sounds faultless as some of the Ryko reissues were criticised for sounding 'harsh'....or something.
And handily the extras are on a separate disc to keep the Proper Albums only mob happy.
Some hated the 'extra tracks' on those CD's = WHY ?
Either way, not quite what I expected 'packaging wise' but both discs unmarked and sound pretty good.

NOTHING TO DO WITH 'DONNA SUMMER' = Awful Cash-In - AVOID !
Before her break-out smash with Love To Love You Baby.
Donna was part of a Vocal Group headed by a 'Veit Marvos' & these 'recordings' date [ie V dated] from way back then.
They are SO badly done, Donna herself denied ever being involved !
The same thing that later-on happened to a certain unknown gal now known by just her first name - Madonna.
One 'Otto Van Werner' disco-vered the girl on backing vocals was the 'same' Madonna & re-released 'his' tracks as kinda 'duets' [tho not] & Eventually just credited to 'Madonna'.
The same story as Donna, aspiring singer makes it big & bread-head former 'Producers' spot a CA$H Opportunity.
AVOID
Or as one on-line 'reviewer' put it, "IF you MUST buy THIS - Get one with a 'nice' cover & for as little money as possible !"
btw
There were 2 Versions of this terrible mess, the later one being [allegedly] 'Remixed' to sound a little more Up To Date.
Remember that saying Polishing a t**d ?
THIS IS NOT A 'DONNA SUMMER ALBUM' IN ANY WAY AT ALL !
