First thing to note is that this is a CD-ROM product, not an audio CD but dating from the late 90's it was designed to run on Win 3.1/95/NT 4.0 and Macintosh
I am running Win 7 64 bit and no way would it start up, even trying various compatibility modes I could not make it run.
Probably the solution would be to run this on a multi-boot system, where Win 95 is installed

Digipak CD case is in very good condition
CD media is in very good condition, a couple of light scuff marks observed under a white halogen light source but I have no doubt this will still play fine.
This copy was part of our audio business production stock way back in the 90's but technology has moved on and I am unable to run the CD now (wrong Win version)
