DRAFT FILE

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 the disc case. The Tray is also unique.

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

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

The value of this particular disc increasingly relies upon the presence of an original Jewel case and tray.
