I saw it and was initially very excited -- it only costs 10 UKP, for three CDs that's nothing -- yet my excitement died quickly when I looked at the cover and realised it looks like a VERY bad quality copy of itself. :( Is it just the Polish edition? I restrained from buying it -- I'll look in the other shops, maybe other copies look better -- but after the fiasco of the Central European edition of L+S which was meant to feature the bonus tracks but it didn't I'm a bit afraid.

And I'll never know what possessed Mike to agree to a release of PC in the very same sleeve as that of the TB boxed set... only much, much, much worse looking. :(

I agree on the "Artwork" points ... Looks like Something knocked out on a Cheap Photo copier  Incredibly "Dull"..
There again Its Outstripped "L&S by miles on Sales ,,,,,
Does this mean its down to the "Promotion or What......
Maybe there are "Platinum Series Collectors" out there
buying as well ... ??  It must be something dramatic as the
two releases are miles apart on Chart Placings   mmm..
Funny but you dont see to many Recordings with the
Virgin mark on them "Flop" really badly... :/

Hmmm I've bought PC this week, and wasn't in any way disguised by the package... OK, it's in grays and reminds me for instance TB III artwork, but I have no objections to its quality. In what shop did you see it? Try some big bookstores. Maybe the album will be a bit more expensive there, but You'll be shure it's not a fake.
