My sister is doing a Media Studies assignment & wants to know of some examples of albums released in different territories with different covers, not reissues.I already mentioned Electric Ladyland to her, but it's late here & I want sleep, so if someone can come up with some more examples while I rest it would be real appreciated, please not too obscure, along with some pics of the variations if possible. I already have some others in mind but I want to email her an awesome list & some images tomorrow. Thanx.

    Giorgio - Son of my father: US and Australian copies
    CCS - The best band in the land: US and Australian copies (exactly the same LP, but diff. title)
    JBs - Food for thought: US and UK copies (again, diff. title, but the same LP)

    Oh, and I also pictured a US and Australian copy of the Meters - Hey last minute/Chicken strut 7" for good measure.

    Hope that helps.

    wow bro, you just got hooked up. say thank you.



  • I could only think of this one:



    left is the US pressing on Chess from 1975, on the right its the Dutch pressing from a year before. The Dutch pressing has the album title "Angel Eyes" the US is "s/t" but the tracklisting is the same.
    hope this helps.
    peace.

    That American Gypsy is one damn solid record pretty much all the way through. Was unaware there was a different cover pressing. Kinda creepy looking second pressing too!

    The Tyrone Thomas and the Whole Damn Family is usually the staple for different cover pressings.

    Average White Band - Show Your Hand and Put It Where You Want It are the same album, no?
    Boz Scaggs - Slow Dancer has 2 different covers
    Herbie Hancock - Thrust (same picture but different lay-out)

    Crown Heights Affair "Foxy Lady" De-Lite DEP 2021
    Crown Heights Affair "Dreaming A Dream" De-Lite DEP 2017

    Same tracklisting, slightly different mix. Judging from the numbers, "Dreaming" is the first.

    Almost, except for one song. On "Show", track 1 side 1 is "The Jugglers". On "Put", track 1 side 1 is "How Can You Go Home". The former is better, methinks.

    Does it have to be music? dvdbeaver.com compares DVD's from different regions. Has screen shots of the dvd box, disc, posters etc.... It would be an instant dB of info if movies would apply

    As for music, Paul Mauriot is notorious for this.

    This comes to mind:







    Others I can think of:



    Bo Hansson - Lord of The Ring/Sagan om Ringen

    Frank Zappa - Weasels Ripped My flesh

    The Whole Darn family lp's are different, no? The one I have has a completely different version of 7 Minutes of Funk.

    True, true... other than that track, they're the same LP, right?

    You have the original Andy Warhol cover, with zipper.

    The second one is how Spain sold it.



    -------







    Every country but the U.S. sold Pink Floyd's Relics[/b] with the illustrated cover (this being a Japanese pressing)

    We in the U.S. had the one on the bottom

    -------





    --------





    --------





    I don't have my copy anymore, but the Taiwan pressing of Master Of Reality[/b] is a photo of the band, taken from the poster found inside.

  • 9th Creation's "Falling In Love" vs. "Bubble Gum"

    Same album, different title and covers.

    Weird, man!

    You didn't include the famous sleeve for this record (naked girl)

  • bull_oxbull_ox 5,056 Posts
    White Light/White Heat: with B&W pic of toy soldiers (there are other VU alternates I can't remember...)

    Hendrix had basically a limitless number... there's an entire coffee table book of all foreign pressings of his albums... not reissues or bootlegs, original pressings of his albums from off-the-wall countries with all these badass psychedelic pics of the group on the sleeve...

    Anybody mention Marlena Shaw's "Spice of Life" fur coat v. silver?

    Are both US issues? If so, which is first?

    This has to be one of the most disturbing covers of all time...can I get a witness?

    I mean, "Virgin Killer?" how about "Kiddie Pornographers??"

    yikes.

    Weird thing is, there's the low budget early 90's movie, "The Stoned Age," where the two metalhead main characters always talk about how this hot chick "looks like the chick on the cover of the 'Virgin Killers' record!" But, the chick in the movie is a (metalchick) hot 18/19 year old, not a 10 year old kid like on that cover...

    I'll testify. That cover is sick meaning bad. No wonder they made an alternate version.

    If that Scorpions cover is so sick, then why do y'all keep reprinting it?

    Now that's a clever one. The mail must go through. And yeah, I would.
