The UK version (two discs, 8 tracks) on Warp is packaged in a set of clear,
plastic slimline jewel boxes. The US version (one disc, 4 tracks) on
Sire is packaged in a nightmarish abomination of cardboard and soft
plastic (i.e. not a jewelbox).
For the US buyer, then, the purchasing table stacks up as shown:
Pro Con
--- ---
Warp vers. 8 tracks Total cost $16-$20
(relatively) nice packaging Some tracks are filler-esque
Only found at specialty shops
Sire vers. Total cost $4-$7 Cheesy crap packaging
Any ol' mall store 4 tracks
Of course that was silly, but I think my vitamins are kicking in...
