(The image of a collection of chimpanzees in a comittee room comes to mind when thinkng who oversaw this mess) Mind you, having thought a little more on the matter, more label variants could actually help matters by narrowing date ranges for individual copies of any given issue, as well as marking finer stages in the label's progression as a whole. I did wonder if Fame only issued albums initially released on their original labels before the foundation of the Fame label itself... but then I saw the Marillion entries, which apparently blows that idea out of the water. With regards the Kate Bush Lionheart... it could be there is a light brown, red grid label without the EMI box before this one, in which case, that's yet another, finer progression of the label design which could place it chronologically just before the white grid label, but just after the light brown grid -unboxed (Still with me?), though where the bright yellow grid unboxed label (my Floyd - Dance songs would fit then??) who knows! Or, it could simply be that since Fame is an EMI label, and Lionheart was originally an EMI release, they put their own logo on Fame reissues of their own stuff earlier (maybe from the off). - In this case, any other Fame reissues of original EMI releases would also have this box (so something else to check out. Woyms... cans of 'em I tell ye!!!
