Gold Discs, Record Ltd. Edition, Photo Displays

Almost by definition, the content of the "X" sub-category of limited edition discs, records and photograph displays is likely to remain limited. However, several bands and artists with this rare initial have produced gold records which seem likely candidates for future inclusion.

It has enjoyed success in its home country, Puerto Rico, the United States and other Spanish-speaking countries.
