50’s Celebration

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

*** MERGE WARNING ***

According to notes on at least d1 from a discogs link cited in the OP, none of these recordings are originals, and discs have appeared repeatedly on questionable labels across borders, though this release has proven hard to track down. Overall sounds like it may well be bootleg-quality junk
