[edit] 1992 Issue

A budget CD was released titled Half Breed (note the lack of hyphen) by various labels at various times during the 1990s. One online retailer even lists the release date as 2001. This album used a different cover, and contains two tracks from the original album and selected tracks from Foxy Lady, Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves, and Dark Lady. This version appears to be more easily obtained than either of the other two.

[edit] Reissue

In 1999, the original album and Cher's next album (Dark Lady) were reissued onto one CD which featured all the tracks from both. This CD is now hard to find.
