...In which case, if tonitan's copy came all together as presented, I think it still stays here as is, with all images and dates as presented, perhaps with the addition of a reference to this discrepancy in notes, and an additional cat number added (provided it was issued this way)...
...Then I'll make (or you can) a separate entry for the consistent 1998 entry, and move your images over to it (and you could, if so generously inclined add remaining images the same as these :)
...Then all we'd need is an entry for a consistent 2003 issue with corresponding disc and obi etc. (If it exists, other than in this fashion - assemblage of parts).
in addition to the discussion I uploaded my copy dated from 1998-02-25,
it came in jewel case with different backside and obi (compare the rists of the obis)
Ah... I see the problem here tonitan, and why we are cross purposes on this one...
... Your disc is in the wrong packaging.
The cat number on your disc image does not match your packaging number.
An obi, matching your disc (1998, presumably), has been wrapped around an issue dated 2003.
If this is so, either it is a "make do and mend" job by the label / record company, using old stock discs in new packaging, or another error at that stage which saw the wrong artwork being used.
In any event, you cannot have found / bought this disc new in this artwork packaging earlier than 2003, as that artwork couldn't have existed before 2003, unless you bought the disc and obi in 1998, then waited five years for the back cover art to come into existence.
If the disc and obi were from an original 1998 release, then we need an entry for that, with corresponding artwork attached, but if this artwork had the exact same disc and obi accompanying it, released in purpose like this (rather than an anomaly / mispress / print / issue, then, although he disc and obi can be said to be 1998, they cannot be on this page, with this artwork with a date before 2003, surely ?
If you have info as to how you bought it (new / shrink wrapped, or second hand, or assembled yourself, this would throw some light on the matter, and show which of the possible explanations I have mentioned is the right one.
Maybe my logic is at fault here, and welcome being corrected by anyone who knows otherwise, but there is no way you could have bought this combination of artwork and disc / obi together new, before 2003.... The artwork, did not exist prior to that date.
