Box of 53 CDs MONO DB53
Limited Edition

Editor's Note 1: character used to separate parts or acts that would ordinarily call for a Header, but is not used here, to keep complete works under a single Index Track.

Editor's Note 2: Some sub-tracks are split into individual sub-tracks as presented on disc sleeves, to manage multipart tracks. Track numeration is as printed or by using #(a,b,c,…) convention.

Each CD comes in a cardboard sleeve that replicates the original cover of one of the albums on the disc. It does not describe the contents of the disc, which are printed on the back of the sleeve and in the booklet.
