Just for clarity CD 3 Track 5 is not a various artist. It's Cola Boy. Weird. I happen to remember because I was record shopping in NY when that CD single came out and I had a friend who had no idea who Cola Boy was, but just loved the name, and the cover. Originally we thought it was Bill Nelson in some disguise (Cola Boy had another single with Do You Dream In Cola), but we were wrong. He ended up buying both without listening to any of it and back in California we played it over and over again to justify his purchases.
