PCCB-00075: Street Fighter II Image Album -G.S.M. CAPCOM-

[depa]

Notes reported that the 1st print of this album comes with a wrap-around obi like the Sing!! album of SF (check here: http://vgmdb.net/db/covers.php?do=view&cover=62001).
All copies I've seen in the last times around the net don't have this wrap-around obi, while all copies of the Sing!! album have it. It sounds strange because this kind of obi is very difficult to remove.
Can someone could check his copy?

I've never seen a copy of this album with an obi either, those considering how similar this release is to the first print Sing!! album it seems likely that it had one. But I've removed that piece of information for now though as we don't have any confirmation.

Does anybody know if the 1st press came with a registry card, as I haven't seen any copies yet having this attached (same goes for my copy). The wrap around obi shouldn't exist, never came across a copy with this.

OBI exist for this album.. (might not be the 1st print version though)
Here's the pic

Yup, that's the 2nd press.

So here's the proof: no wrap around obi for the first pressing, but a seal instead. By the way: it should be the same with PCCB-00132, as I also never came across a copy with an obi and it's the same with the 1st press having a slipcase.

This is the problem - the spine card is the same!
The first print is identical to the second (with same yellow spine card) except it comes tucked away in a cardboard sleeve along with a calendar.
The re-issue(s) are identical - CD case and spine!
We defo have a few left of the first print package. We put a large pic of the front of the case (& spine) is on the site, and this pic has since been put on vgmdb.
Hope this helps!

Laters!

Ok, I thought the spine was outside the box and not inside.
Do you know if the Garou Densetsu image album has received the same treatment of the SF counterpart?

I can almost vouch for it, that it did not come with the obi. I bought my copy from a seller who bought the copy new and kept everything as far as he remembers. Also the copy on castleofcollectibles.com does not show an obi and is otherwise complete.

Anybody knows more about Hiroshi Saitou? His guitar work is stunning, especially on the final track 'Fight it out', so I'd love to hear more from him. Could it possibly be 'Uppi' from the Game Music Festival 92 Live Album?

I checked liner notes and nothing, but you might be on something. Tatuji Yokoyama would fit as Tatsui.

What does "IMAGE" mean with all these Scitron albums? They seem to be all arrangements of some sorts, I don't know.

I also don't think 1st print copies with the slipcase had an obi - like KICA-1001 and KICA-1010. As I can't find a picture of the red sticker easily, here it is for reference:
