I knew of 2 different versions. What is the difference between the one without obi and the one at the bottom (and i obviously am not talking about having an obi or not)? Different labels?

I totally agree with Rob.

Out of curiosity, are your collections specifically to attain alternate covers, or do you just accumulate extra records? Just wondering. I would much rather buy new records than spend on alternate versions of items I already have. To each there own, if that is what you like then that's cool. But it seems to me like many rare records are so rare because some people are sitting on many copies.

VIVA no ! RESTLESS i don't really know, a little bit rare probably. It's from Brasil.

Okay, thanks.
Both look far better than the ones on the left!

A boring sampler with no exlusive songs as your most precious record? Are you drunk?

Only thing i know is that the one on the right is the original and much rarer edition.

edit: 300 or 500 copies? Well, i did not know that it was that rare.
