Title: Above The Law - Uncle Sam's Curse rerelease japan
Post by: dirdee on August 06, 2007, 03:31:33 AM
I guess some of ya might be interested what it looks like so i made a few pics. There are no bonus cuts on it, but the lyrics are included.

ya got shots of the insert folded out (where i assume the lyrics are).. ?

the stars + stripes behind the CD match my OG copy

i cant remember if the pics of hutch+kmg are chopped up like that on mine or not.

the spine prints look different and (obviously) they've added the "sony music japan" text.. on the english text side

I think you won't regret. I just posted this @ another board.

I ordered with musicjapan_jp (amazon seller), paid 24 bucks and the delivery to germany took 14 days.
I compared it to my og and it's a real good alternative. The artwork is exactly the same, only the ruthless logo is replaced with the sony japan logo. The og disk has a light inner ring, that's another difference.

I just compared the two versions and the pictures on the back cover are clearer on the original, you're right. I think the front cover looks a little bit brighter on the rere.
The lyrics are on an extra booklet.

Thanks!

that looks just like my og copy. dope shit! i dont get why they would release it in japan though? who in japan would be interested in that. plus i guess that means ruthless doesn't have the rights anymore.
