Because its a rejected item, note the cover that it's different from the stock copies. The sticker was on clear ground and look bad on black cover so EA
make a smaller sticker on back ground.

The ONLY difference I can see is that the "Stock Copies" had a smaller picture of the yellow torso - other than that no other changes.

So what was deeded "Offensive" ?

The CD stock copies had a crappy inlay with an advert for Overbombing on the inside and the blurb on the front and a cheapass sticker on the back. No picture.

The 12" on the other hand is a much more quality item with the Yellow Guy on the front.

The rejected CD also has the inlay...

Another difference is the matrix on the CD...

Rejected copy has :MASTERED BY NIMBUS: MR 59 CDX. 1:1
Stock copy has :MASTERED BY NIMBUS: MR 59 CDX. 1:2

Y.

Don't get me wrong, vive la difference and all that, but J. stated that it was very different on the cover. Me being stupid, I was looking at it, compared to my own and couldn't see enough difference (save the scan looked "greener"), to justify an outlay of 10 times the going rate.

Yeah, I laughed :lol: :lol: :lol:

The "Number" on my copy is MR59 CDX - there is no number or anything else.

The front cover has the "Yellow Guy" - albeit a small 3" by 3" sticker.

Hope that helps! :-)

Hmm, I don't have the Yellow guy on the front of mine at all. Have a look at the following, is this what everyone else has on their copies or am I missing an inlay or something?

This is what I have:

UTG Inlay Front

UTG Inlay Back

UTG CD Cover Back
