Two disc set in a slim (standard) jewel case. Each disc has its own number Disc One 8291662 and Disc Two 8691672. There are also four unlisted bonus tracks, two on the end of each disc that are primarily 20-30 sec. radio advertisements for the band
Hi Phil, thanks for the correct date information. I just went with what's on the packaging. Speaking of which EMI were notorious for shoddy make-overs of the original packaging whether it came from the USA or the EU. Often leaving the "made in ....." information untouched all over Australian releases as is the case here. Some idiot on Discogs has even pilfered my images from here and listed this as a USA release on the strength of what's written on the packaging. The USA release had a cat# of D 203377 according to Discwrongs so who's to know. I'll send a correction on the date though and that will make this the best entry of this CD in the world. I'm not joking.
You may be right about the USA version being available here earlier as I distinctly remember seeing this available with a different cover (the US cover) which uses the image on the inlay on this version rather band in front of the bus (EU & Australian versions). There could even be a later Australian re-issue with USA rather than EU artwork but at least that would match the "made in the USA" data on the back inlay. Did I say "sloppy artwork" before?
Date needs to be corrected too, Lee - Platterlog lists this as a new release on 28 August 1995! They also show the number as 829165-2, but that is probably how EMI notified it to them, not necessarily how it is shown on any copy. I also wonder whether they originally distributed the US copy, as the back insert has US company information? EMI tended to import from Europe, but US imports weren't unknown.
Linked to other version and added secondary cat# which runs downwards from the right hand side of the barcode box on the back inlay. Sent a correction for the missing composer on B-10 - I don't know what happened there?
