The tracklist of this set only makes sense knowing it was sequenced for vinyl but sold mostly to new CD player purchasers between the vinyl and CD eras, with 5 LPs broken up among 4 CDs. Today, this set is easy to find cheaply in great condition--even $10, like this one from Folk Arts in San Diego

Early US vinyl pressings contain a 2:36 mix of "We Got The Beat" with lead vocals double-tracked, chorus vocals in stereo, and no piano; this pressing (like most) contains the 2:32 hit single version with piano, mono chorus vocals, & solo lead vocals.

In 1987, Crosby Stills & Nash couldn't even make it through what was supposed to be a fluffy network promo piece on the band without fucking up royally in four different ways: youtu.be/v_ozbTZYDgc

The album Petty threatened to name "Eight Ninety-Eight"--or possibly not deliver to the company at all--if MCA raised the list price to $9.98.
