There is only the cd in it. I think it is why the official site says: "...4 physical and 2 digital versions (5 physical versions outside the UK and EIRE). The fifth version is only the cd. Can you buy only the cd in your country? Thank you -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

By the way, the only fault I find in those CD booklets is that unless you buy the vinyl or the Ultimate Box, the list of instruments is not included even if the booklets have more than 20 pages... But even that, I find Universal has made a great effort!   Back to top

The back cover of its booklet is the same as the original album's back cover, so the instrument list is there, even if very very small. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

The back cover of its booklet is the same as the original album's back cover, so the instrument list is there, even if very very small. The single CD back cover that I have shows only the title tracks, no list instruments... and the back cover of the booklet has also the titles, not the instruments. It's the same edition included in the The Collection pack. Can you check, Ugo? Because that wwill be a different booklet version. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: June 18 2009, 16:35 The booklet of the Italian CD (the booklet, not the CD box) reproduces the covers of the original album (Bent bell+wave on the front, burning bones & "Mike Oldfield plays...." instruments list on the back). The only difference is an added line, © 2009 Mercury Records. It's not uncommon for Italian releases to have different covers than other European releasas. Also, here we're talking about Universal, whose Italian branch (i.e. Universal Music Italy) is quite powerful when it comes to packaging (and re-packaging) CDs for Italy. I know of some classical music releases (e.g. from Deutsche Grammophon) whose covers (both of the booklet and of the CD box) were completely different from the corresponding German DG releases. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
