THE RECORD OF THE WEEK &

TODAY'S WELCOME 

TO THE SHOWROOM:

BAD

GERMANY CLUB EDITION CD

EPIC CL35388 8

 

 

Oh, what a superb newcomer I have to show you today!!!!

Take a look at this BAD cd. If you see only the front cover (and the cd inside) looks like a normal austrian pressing. But...if you see the back cover...well, this is a super-rare club edition from Germany! With a total different catalogue number (stated also on the spine) and a really strange barcode number - recalling the club catalogue number.

Club editions are a kind of uncommon records; they look like a classic release, but they're not; "behind the mask" they hide a surprise; the best you can find is a different catalogue number printed on it (we've seen in the past 2 different "Thriller" copies on vinyl, with a regular dutch vinyl inside), or a "club-only" factory produced record (there's a Thriller cd released only in Japan like that, and you can find it on my blog, in the "Cd albums" section, here:

http://themichaeljacksonshowroom.blogspot.com/p/cd-albums.html); sometimes there's only a sticker (and I consider these versions less significant than the others).

This BAD is clearly a "first-example" version, with regular cd but different references on sleeve/cover.

 

 

 

INCLUDING THE 2001 BAD "SPECIAL EDITION" AND THE BAD25TH RELEASE, THIS IS THE 85TH BAD CD IN THIS COLLECTION.

Not so BAD, I think. BUT...you know what:

the hunt continues!!!!
