Cover details

        
Additional comments Very rare 8 inch PAL CD-Video. I received this item still originally sealed in April 2009. I think it's a very limited edition as it does not even have a catalogue number printed on the card sleeve cover. It only has a round green sticker on the left upper corner of the front cover with the number 62 on it. The CD-Video label does not reveal much either, but it has a hand written code on it: QSF 062. I know of another version which has a green sticker with number 99 on it and a hand written code on the disc; QSF 099. So, it seems that the number refers to a numbered edition and is not part of the catalogue number. The color of the disc itself is platinum, certainly not as gold coloured as the normal 5 inch CD-Videos that were officially released. This item was certainly not meant for sale as can be seen on the cover detail.
