You learn something every day! A lot of the Varèse Sarabande CDs we’re prepping for sale next Tuesday at FSMCDs are the German Colosseum variants.

About 50% of my Varèse Sarabande recordings are the Colosseum variants, which are identical except for the disc design (and some minor small print on the back covers). Contents are the same.

Didn't they also sometimes have different (occasionally superior) cover design? Or am I just thinking of the Japanese SLC counterparts?

Some of the Colosseum CDs had variants on the artwork.

Thanks for confirming my recollection. Cool Starship Troopers cover!

While the German Varese releases sometimes had alternative covers to their USA counterparts, I generally preferred the Yank version.
And most times they were the same, save for the small print and copyright blurbs.
The more sought after and collectible were the Japanese SLC ones, which more often than not had superior covers and artwork.
They just looked cooler overall, with their Obi strips and exotic small print.

Prince of Darkness was a Colosseum label-branded product (as indicated in the top/right corner), not a Varese re-package, which explains the predominently German text.
True, but The Thief of Bagdad was also Collosseum branded and the covers seem near identical.

Do we really need to click a second time to confirm what we wish to buy. Stuff kept appearing, then disappearing then appearing again. Weird. Weird. In the end I managed to get my order through so not a biggie.
