    Like a boxed jukebox of classics, great fun, hours of entertainment

      i am mystified as to which plant pressed this U.K. set. The stamped matrix numbers resemble CBS UK/Warner, there is a rim on the outer part of the label typical of polygram/polydor, and my copies have OS stamped in at 12 o'clock.
