Hello,

I have received a copy of this item I opportunistically snapped up on Ebay- read, now, including the making of the hasty mistake of not properly vetting out the release before buying it- and the physical item came as a disc and booklet in a CD/DVD slip jacket (from what I've been able to gather, this is to be expected i.e. is how it came, at least in some quarters).

However, there was no back tray insert included with this copy (as I've read in another old thread here, came with other copies). That being said, I think my copy is from the Italian dreamers fanclub- a shiny sticky on disc jacket would indicate such, as well as there being a portion of thanks from that fanclub in the item booklet-, and so I am wondering if the versions differed somewhat across the various releasing fanclubs (as another point that makes me query this, when you see images for this release across the internet, much of the results presents the release cover as if it was scaled for a DVD case)?

Cheers,

Steve

This is my original disc that I received as a member of the Voices UK fan club. Hope it helps...

Thanks for the reply/providing the image you have; it does help me somewhat, in that it gives me a clear visual of the UK- at least- fanclub version, and/or confirms the descriptions of that one I had read in the aforementioned old thread, here, on the release. :tup

Still wondering if other fanclub versions- and/or the specific, apparent Italian one I seem to have-, are meant to be implemented any differently, physically, however...is the front cover on the your copy/the UK edition just a cover/one sheet, or is it a (4 sheet) booklet?

Basically, I'm not really suspecting my copy to be fake, just possibly missing the back insert.

Furthermore, if your front cover is a booklet, does it have the Italian Dreamers thank you blurb as the last paragraph on the inner left page (could you provide a photo of the inside of your booklet, in fact, if it's convenient, just to check if mine is the same)?

Also, I can see from your pic that the disc slip jacket has a similar shiny sticker to the one on the copy I have received- does that read:

The official fan club ones should all be the same. I do think that yours just doesn't have a back insert. The booklet is 4 pages & does thank the Italian Dreamers. DVD Cover sized copies are fakes.

Thanks for the corroborative info; it appears definitive then and is valuable knowledge concerning the release. Thanks for your assistance. :tup
