@PhilMH, 23skidoo
Hi, it's early days yet but looking at the 7 CD versions on Discogs (my entry is not on Discogs yet) ......
Both 23skidoo's entry and my entry has Universal Music International B.V. on the back.
It appears that 23skidoo's entry might indeed be International, and may be the stock worldwide release?, and that my entry might need to be changed to UK, or are there HMV stores in Europe/Worldwide?, as it looks as though each store exclusive has a different Cat No./barcode specific to that country, i.e... The "Target" exclusive in the US uses 602465262971, and the UK "HMV" exclusive uses 602465568943 and, logically, therefore, any other countries store exclusives may also use their own specific Cat No's as well?
Time will tell i'm sure;)

Although pressed in the EU, this is the pressing being sold retail in Canada

Does the company name Universal Music International B.V. appear on the disc and/or package? If so, then this is an edition intended to be sold internationally, not just in Europe. The same might apply to the other Europe edition linked below.

Although pressed in the EU, this is the pressing being sold retail in Canada. Don't know about the US. I didn't specify May 17 as release date as it didn't appear in stores until May 23 so it's possible the HMV version was an advance release.

Deleted erroneous comment. EDIT: also available in an edition without the poster.

Vinyl quality review

Comment by gregs45s SUBS:

There are many reviews online from people who have bought this on Vinyl and are very disappointed with the sound quality, claiming that the "Eco-Vinyl" used sounds very "muffled", so, probably better to get a Digital copy for now, perhaps waiting instead for a Remaster on Vinyl.
This is strange, as a major artist, and considering Fineas and Billie take pride in their production, surely you check the sound quality on Vinyl before you release hundreds of thousands of them worldwide (there are 7 variations btw), and, therefore, it surely negates the initially commendable move to issue all of them on "Eco-Vinyl"?.
(Further listening by the way has confirmed, to me at least, that this is probably her best album to date)

The new one from Billie, pretty good on the first listen through, great vocals, ethereal and perhaps a touch dark in places, but there's also a couple of up beat Disco tracks, so, something for everyone;)
The packaging overall is very dark, so i had to lighten the three inside panels so that you can see the background, and the back to make the text legible, the actual shade is that of image 3569697.
(I'll let someone with a larger scanner attempt to do the 9 panel poster)
