<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>In defense of those who dislike
the digipak, even Dead or Alive's "Evolution" Limited Edition came in a
more solid digipak even though the sleeves on the inside were more flimsy. The
outer frame was a more solid cardboard to retain structure. PSB "Yes"
Special Edition is just very thin sleeves stacked on one another. I'm
a graphic designer, and aside from the colored check mark on the cover I hate
the inside pictures. The went overboard with the colored blocks and obscured the
pictures of Neil and Chris a little too much. I hate the brown they used on
the inside. They should have kept the inside black as well. It would make
the colors a little less obnoxious. If the regular edition is all white I
think that may actually look better for what they were going
for.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

Agreed. I can barely pry the CDs/booklet out of the sleeves without ripping
the cheap cardboard...<BR>Extremely poor quality for a proper release,
especially for a SE.<BR><BR>

<DIV><STRONG>Hey people, your friendly neighborhood Silver Phoenix here. I
just received my Yes Special Edition, and I have to say that this cardboard
sleeve is bullshit. I don't care how many colored squares you throw on a solid
black background, it's just extremely poor quality. I suppose they just wanted
to save a buck/pound/euro, etc. I was hoping for one of those cool jewel cases
with an insert, but instead I get this crappy cardboard sleeve.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Is this edition going to be released in the US as well? I know
April is the release for the standard album, but if there are no differences
in what is included I'll stick with this one.</STRONG></DIV>
