60’s Dance Party

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

Tough to pin down, besides the OP's original reference to a freedb source. Tracklist matches this discogs release with the exception of the last track which lists a different artist here and on freedb.

NB that other discogs entries reproduce back-panel text indicating some of these tracks may be re-recordings
