Thanks to Martin Barrack for scans of the Australian release, Columbia 82876883062. It appears that the packaging has been imported from the USA - it has the FBI anti-piracy logo, says the DVD is NTSC, and doesn't mention Australia. The wording on the yellow front sticker is slightly different. The CD and DVD are made in Australia and have the same catalogue number, Columbia 82876883062 - the DVD is correctly shown as PAL. Note the US CD and DVD shown above both have the FBI anti-piracy logo, missing from the European and Australian releases. The European DVD has a green German age rating logo (12 upwards).

Thanks to Hans Seegers for the scans of the US long box edition and a copy sold in France. The US long box format was for the Limited Edition with DVD only, not the single CD version.

Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for finding a picture of the Japanese Limited Edition on eBay. It has a wraparound obi, a Japanese lyrics booklet and an insert in Japanese describing the DVD.

"Someday Baby" - one-track promo CD single, Columbia LC 00162 (Europe)/Columbia USSM10603929 (Finland), Sep 2006:
Thanks to Hans Seegers for clarifying that there are at least two different versions of this single - Columbia LC 00162 is a regular CD in a plain white sleeve. For a Jul 2006 US promo CD single (timed at 3:07), see above. The CD-R formerly listed here which comes in a clear plastic sleeve with a printer insert contains the full album version of the song and is now listed in Promotional Singles - 2000s, as is the Australian CD-R promo.


Columbia LC 00162 (Europe) - CD scan by Ronald Born

R-0741-2 Someday Baby - edited version of track (3:03) from Modern Times (the album version is 4:55)

Thanks to Peter Coulthard for finding this promo on eBay and to Ronald Born for further information and the CD scan. Eerik Hakala has a copy distributed in Finland with a different disc style numbered USSM10603929 (Columbia has no manufacturing plant in Finland so it must have been manufactured in Austria for distribution in Finland - the sticker is from Teosto, the Finnish music copyright organisation). This edit is timed at 3:07 on the US copy, 3:03 on LC 00162 and 3:09 on the Finnish copy, but I think they're all the same edit.

Thanks to Ronald Born and Eerik Hakala for information and scans.
