The Band plus guests - "The Last Waltz" - 2CD set, Warner Bros 3146-2 (USA), 1990/Warner-Pioneer Corporation WPCP-3865/6 (Japan), 1990/Warner-Pioneer Corporation 55XD-930/1 (Japan) 1992:
The first US release came in two separate CDs in single jewel cases. It had two booklets on thick paper, one with photographs, one with text. The second release, with the same catalogue number, came in a slimline 2CD jewel case and had a single booklet on much thinner paper. The 1990 Japanese release Warner-Pioneer Corporation WPCP-3865/6 comes in two separate CDs in single jewel cases. There are two variants, one of which has "WARNER-PIONEER CORPORATION" on the spine and the other does not. Both releases have a white, blue, black, light-brown, yellow obi, which looks as if it originally wrapped both CDs when packaged.
