Comments:

This is currently very much a working page with information being collected from more people than could be thanked . Many images are of Low quality and are not from a flat sources so high quality replacements would be appreciated. It is the most detailed page I have located on this brilliant release but still far from complete

Some Japanese collectors have identified a 'Patent Pending ' Jewel Case' with many versions, lower RH side of tray and no hatching on the sides of tdisc case. The Tray is also unique.

Additionally I am working on identifying the matrix of sealed copies. There are at least three tear strip variatiofor sealed Gold Sticker editions.

It appears that the 17A1 FAKE and genuine discs both have the same CDID and pre-emphasis . If soemeone can recommend a way or send me a glink to a guide on the easiest way of undertaking a wave comparison I will work out how to rip pre-emhhasis discs and do a comparison and post the results.
