Attack of the Cloned CDs?


Guest

Recommended Posts

I have an Austrian and an American pressing of AOTC. The latter, a bargain purchased through a retailer based in Hong-Kong (ltd. edition/Jango Fett), has quite some differences, so I'm wondering whether it's a legit copy or maybe a pirate copy.

CD:

- the asteroid battle picture is printed right to the middle edge on the Austrian CD

- white colour is printed on the US CD, but left blank (i.e. the shimmering CD surface is visible) on the Austrian CD

- US disc is marked with IFPI L555, S0100410670-0101, 15, B00

Artwork:

- all inlays, covers and inserts are brighter (and looking better with more visible detail and better colours) on the Austrian disc

Jewel case:

- the Austrian case has three support tongues each on top and bottom for the cover, whereas the American case has only two

- Austrian version had "Sony Music" printed on the case itself in its lower left corner of the back side. There's no print on the US case

Do I have an official copy? Are other US pressings the same? Thanks!

One shouldn't hit "post reply" too fast: Could the difference in running time be a result of the copy protection of the Austrian disc?
