This is a promotional CD sampler with 18 tracks from the 4xCD Rebel box set 1991-1995.

The original artwork incorrectly lists Dorothy Skaggs' All I Ever Loved Was You as Track 10, but the disc has Roy Lee Centers / Archie E. Jones' All The Love I Had Is Gone. On the outer CD jewel case the song and credits are obscured with black marker pen. The correct song title and credits were included in a card insert!
