Again, same friend of mine had the US release of "Welcome to the Neighbourhood" and I had the other one, the one that was released over here. I'd never seen it before. I wasn't aware there was any difference, besides the spelling. And I saw it, and I was like, WTF... Is that a bootleg? I don't remember it being all that attractive. The UK release is much better, for me, design-wise. I'm not sure if they tampered with the mix either. So with the special edition coming out, I suppose it's technically the special edition version of the UK release! Ha!
