On the second (2005), third (2006) and fourth (2008) pressings of this set, the "Nipper" logo has been replaced by the RCA logo on the front cover,
as BMG wasn't the copyright holder of the logo in Europe. |
|
On the third pressing (2006) the front and back covers are visably lighter then the first two pressings and on the CD, the centre is all black and not transparent. |
|
On the fourth pressing (2008) the front photo is more complete and the RCA logos are brighter white. The line between the brackets
of the song title "The Girl Next Door (Went A' Walking)" isn't shown and the now yellow sticker (not orange) also doesn't show "LSP/LPM 2231".
The back cover does not have the white frame around it and the Sony logo is shown next to the FTD and RCA logos. |
|
