This RCA Victor album was pressed exclusively to commemorate Perry's 40th Anniversary with RCA Victor Records in 1983. It was never released commercially and was issued only as a very Limited Edition. The album graphics and track information have been provided here by Linda Maxom, a long time Como fan from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, who received an autographed copy of this album directly from Perry. This record album is one of Linda's prized possessions!
