Dead Moon records were originally released by Tombstone - but since then, most albums were released and distributed by Music Maniac. Some albums were simultaneously released in the USA by eMpTy records, and this makes teh album sleeves slightly different - like the back of 'Hard Wired In Ljubljana': |
| Apart from the obvious differences in logos and addresses (which also
result in a different font size in photo/art/design credits), the inside of this gatefold
double album has some sleevenotes exclusive to the Europese release (written by Hans
Kesteloo). Besides, the overall colours of the Music Maniac version of the sleeve are
marginally lighter. (You'll take my word for this, I hope, for the scanner isn't working the way it should today, as you can see from the blueish scans above.) 'Destination X' spots different logos and adresses on the back cover, and the small lettering that shows when you stash your records on a shelf is white-on-black for the Music Maniac release wheaeas it's black-on-white for the eMpTy sleeve. |
| It is the shared opinion of all Dead Moon members, plus my girlfriend Maaike, and the record company personnel involved that I must be completely nuts, working out out this kind of details. However: everyone's always been very cooperative. Thanks! |
