"If You are a collector of TRON media or 'Rare' Japanese imports, then this would be one CD to own. From the photo supplied, this would normally be the back side of a jewel case, but for some unconventional reason the flip side of the jewel case has the lid with a quarter size booklet floating around as the CD is seen behind the lid. I am debating weather or not to remove the plastic wrapper, as this would decrease the collectable value, if I chose to resell it some day, which is very unlikely. I already own the original US CD (the tracks are mirrored to the same, with no additional tracks!), so there's no reason to give it a listen since it is from the same master tapes.



The unique thing about this CD version is the artwork used in the packaging, it was used on the Japanese Laserdisc cover art for the 2nd issue. It would have been nice if the CD was issued with the original 1982 LP cover artwork, but I guess Disney wanted the artwork to match what they used for the 20th Anniversary 2-disc DVD release, which does make marketing sense. But don't worry, when You buy this CD just add it to Your itunes, then You can find the original LP artwork on the net, and walla, it's 1982 again!



Bottom line here... don't debate, just buy it, because chances are it won't be around much longer and if You see it again, as with My experience, could triple in price!"
