Doesn't seem like a printing error, because the black seems to be in correct registration on the image and on the side "volume 222" graphic.
This normally works OK, but I have personally seen situations where drop shadow settings get changed/ignored when an INX file from a newer version of InDesign is opened in an older version of InDesign.
Yes, it was an error that occurred at the plating stage after proofs were approved. *sigh* We've found the problem and all those responsible have been sacked.

I took a picture to commemorate the successful conclusion of Intrada's BSG project. The "planned future volumes" actually came out, which hasn't always happened in the history of soundtrack releases. This is a win.
I've got Stu's 1998 performance of the pilot score and, not pictured, the digital version of the 25th Anniversary CD (includes the song "It's Love, Love, Love"). And of course I saved the LP for its big artwork. Taken altogether, it's enough to get me by.
Congratulations to Stu Phillips and Intrada for doing the magnificent.

Sorry to hear about your jewel case, Eric. It's a little surprising, considering that Intrada ships in a hard box. I wish LLL would too, but so far I've been very lucky with them.
I have all seven Intrada discs on my iPod now and I'm giving Volume 4 a proper listen. It's just superb so far.

Man, talk about being priced out of collectible soundtracks. Just checked Amazon and ebay and the prices for these sets are...frustrating.
I started collecting/actively listening relatively late in 2015, so I missed out on some great stuff at retail prices. These BSG sets sound great, as far as the sample go, and I'd love to get them, but I guess it's gonna require extreme patience and luck to find them at anything close to reasonable prices.
You got in very recently, but at least you're here.
A truly staggering amount of vintage film and TV music "came and went" between about 1985 and 2015. I was just thinking the other day how lucky newcomers to Lost in Space and Star Trek: The Original Series are, in that the La La Land box sets are still available as CDs (great liner notes), and as digital downloads, and also on the streaming service Spotify.
Regarding classic BSG, you might have to keep an eye on eBay for some time. I will say that the Geffen 25th Anniversary album and the 1998 Varese Sarabande re-recording are both very good stand-ins for Intrada volume 1, and I know they're both available from Amazon and iTunes.
Get the 25th Anniversary album if you want the LP program, which includes the disco song "It's Love, Love, Love."
The Stu Phillips - Royal Scottish National Orchestra (Varese) version is missing the song, but contains more of the original score. It's a 48-minute presentation with superior sound quality, and the RSNO performance is a near-fingerprint match for the original soundtrack. It's really well done, and the one I currently listen to, with the disco song added to the end in my playlist.
Honestly, I enjoy owning the out-of-print Intrada volumes as a collection, but my listening has mostly been about the pilot movie. I don't really need the uber-complete version, and you can still buy the pre-Intrada versions of it at normal prices.

I was able to pick up the LiS, Star Trek, and underrated M:I LLL sets a few years back during 25% off sale(s). The ST set is fun and I think I've gotten the most play out of that one. I need to spend more time with the LiS apart from the Williams material.
I've got the 25th Ann release of BSG, primarily because it was the most affordable option I saw at the time. I'm a little tempted by the Intrada to get another 30 minutes of music, but if I had to choose only one it would be the 25th Ann release because I love the kitschy disco vocal number.
That's a big reason I'm very happy I was able to get the first Buck Rogers set before prices got too ridiculous.
I feel for you. I was a huge BSG fan as a kid in the 70s and when Intrada announced their collection it was a dream come true. The set is complete in that everything that has survived is included. The elements that disappeared over the years obviously are not. Perhaps La La Land's Universal deal might allow them to revisit the set in the future, though I'm not sure demand was ever that strong.
Yeah, I was ten when Star Wars was released so I was right there with you.
Good point about the Universal deal, which I hadn't really thought of. It seems like almost a given this material would get repackaged in light of that.
Although TBH, I'm even more eager to get stuff like Columbo and Kolchak.

Just watched an auction close on this with a $50 starting point ($118 BIN) and not one bidder!?
There were a couple bids for a sealed Vol.3, but that still ended up closing under $70.
I bought a used copy of Vol.4 for $75 early last month and I though I was making out fair-OK going by earlier sold listings. Guess I wildly overpaid 
Fortunately, I am enjoying the disc though.
What is disconcerting is, I've noticed sales being sluggish with other collectibles I'm into.
I remember the boom times of the late nineties when I could throw up all kinds of stuff on ebay and usually turn a profit and in some cases a ridiculous profit at that. Not anymore.
Even just a few years ago it wasn't too bad. My Amazon store hasn't had a sale in over a month, despite low-balling a lot of the prices.
It looks like a buyer's market for just about everything now- but not so good if you hope to subsidize those purchases by selling off your old stuff.

Unfortunately, they are very hard from track 19 onwards. They are softer when the music is quieter, but harder when louder.
Was it fine when new, and deteriorated on the shelf? I'm currently checking my long-shelved physical Disc 1 and it's golden so far, clean and clear.
But in principle, this is one of the reasons to rip your CDs when they're brand new.
