The red one

The blue one

The photos are different. The one I've seen in the store was the blue one. What's the difference? The bonus track is on the red one or on the blue one?

The orange one is the front cover of Light the dark blue one is the front cover of Shade. You can flip them about if you feel the Light cover is particularly naff, as I do. Shade is a nicer image. The bonus tracks (if you call having them a 'bonus) are available on the UK editions only by the sounds of things. God knows why?

The Shade cover was based on this pic here, IMHO.

Waited to see if the cover images would look better to me in reality,as wasn't fond of the preview images at all.
Sorry to say that I still don't like the look of both covers,although the image inside is lovely.

Can't beleive my own reaction really,because usually quite open minded as far as artwork goes. It has been very cleverly done all the same - just me that's all ,suppose it gives me uncomfortable feeling when looking at it.Do love the design on both cd's very much,gorgeous colours & noticed M.O "morphed" into the design right away. If having to choose one cover image then ,shade more than light . :)

I flipped mine so "Shade" shows on the front. He looks rather mean on the "Light" cover.
