additional information
The smart white slip case, with its gold embossed titles, isn't very durable and could be easily marked or scuffed.

Copies were originally distributed throughout Europe in late 1999 but it must've been a limited release as the stock quickly disappeared. It's quite hard to find now.

additional information
This reissue by Disky smartened up the original sloppy CD release by Virgin: it used the same front cover design but created a better booklet, put together smart new graphic inlays for the transparent CD tray and back cover, and even got the album's title and track listing correct.

A large number were produced so copies are still easy to find.

additional information
This reissue by Disky could do little to change the artwork of the Virgin release. The booklet was reproduced faithfully as were the graphics on the CD. The only real differences were the use of a transparent CD tray and spine which carried the album artwork and title respectively.

A large number were produced so copies are still easy to find.
