PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION - AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY (CD) 9-25286 GERMAN

So tonight I wanna discuss the second gatefold CD version of the record.

Like the Japanese pressing, the disc has the Target shape on the disc itself.  The distinguishing feature is along the bottom where it says, "Made in West Germany".  At the time, Germany was still divided between east and west.

The longbox is the same as the two Japanese pressings.  The long three sided gatefold box and the cardboard sleeve for all three versions of the disc were printed in the US and there are no variations between them.  

You can see these versions popping up on eBay now and again.  Sometimes, they ask astronomical prices for them.  Occasionally, you can find them at a reasonable price.  Be sure to get a good look at the disc before you purchase so you can see which version you're buying.  And it should be noted, these long boxes have a flap over the top.  It's very rare to find a version with the flap still intact.  The flap contains the bar code sku information.  The sku number is 0 75992-52862 7.  Happy hunting!
