I scanned the spine and added it, since that's where you'll find the "Limited Edition" notation.
Yes, I am that anal about scans. Hurray for completionism! |

Yeah baby! Add that spine! Add that registration card! Add that back of the obi that's really just white! - Okay, that's taking it too far I guess...

I'm in an OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) dilemma.
This is the situation. I have two copies of the same soundtrack, that of course being the Final Fantasy VIII Original Soundtrack (First Print Limited Edition). The first copy is as mint a condition as it can be. I've bought it multiple times so I would know. In other words:
The second copy is a sealed copy and includes the yellow sticker on the top right of the front. But:
Anyway, the question is, assuming that you could only keep one (sealed) or the other (unsealed), which would you choose? The devil you know or the devil you don't? I'm leaning towards the sealed one but the knowledge that the CD tray is loose and unfixable will forever be engraved in my mind. |

I know generally, sealed = more valuable.
But were I in your shoes I'd keep the unsealed. Or maybe just hold both... :P |

I've been through a few copies of this one myself because of the disc label discolouration thing. |

I've decided to keep the sealed copy, despite the loose disc tray. I'm sort of going to miss my "as mint as it can possibly get" unsealed copy, that which itself was a hybrid of past multiple copies.
I could keep both but for a reason(s) (not necessarily financial) that I can't seem to place my finger on, I just can't do it. I have to get rid of one. |

Hi All,
I have a question regarding this limited release. I recently purchased a copy, then returned it for various reasons regarding its claimed quality. However, when I ordered another copy, there was something slightly different about it that I hadn't noticed with the other one. In this instance, the clear plastic inner circle of the CDs all say "Sample" in all caps and orange lettering. Can anyone explain this? I know it's not a bootleg, as it has the official catalog number and is consistent with the posted images, so why would this variation happen? Any information would be very much appreciated. Best, Alex |

Hey agw36, you got your hands on a preview copy, as you noticed it's 100% similar to retail copies except for the "sample" mention on the CDs inner ring.
They're made early in the process to verify that conception/manufacturing is ok (typos, printing quality, logos, labels, copyright dates etc), and are sometimes sent to journalists for review. |

Hi Alcahest,
Interesting. I had no idea that there would be preview copies in the FF music world, but it makes complete sense (even though there are still so many releases out there with silly typos). Thank you very much for sharing this information! ~Alex |
