An Excellent Album

"I received my copy Tuesday, April 15, 2003 and I love it! I have the orginal U.S. version and this one is the United Kingdom import version. It has two extra tracks at the end, "Sellout" and "Trying Not To Think About It" which are the first two songs on the 1997 "Please Do Not Disturb" EP. The Japanese import version of this album has all 6 songs from the EP and two previously unreleased tracks, "Mean And Evil" and "Anemia". It's a shame that CD is so hard to find though. It's a special order item and even Amazon(.com) was having trouble finding a someone who had that particular version. This album is cool though because it's package is a Digipack. For those of you unfamiliar with that term, it just means that instead of the jewel case, the packaging is the album cover, front and back, on high gloss cardboard with the plastic CD holding case inside. The original booklet with the lyrics and everything that is the same as the one in the standard jewel case, is included in a little pocket inside the packaging. Most people have at least one CD with this type of packaging. Juliana's other band, the Blake Babies have this packaging on their 2001 release, "God Bless The Blake Babies". Anyway, this is a very good album. All the songs are great and it's amazing how this album was recorded in a week and sounds so professionally done. Get your copy today whether it's this version or the original. I would prefer getting this one because of the unique packaging and the two extra tracks. Also, I am sure it is most likely a limited edition item and I'm assuming after awhile, import albums become hard to come by. Thanks for reading this and be sure to check out the rest of Juliana's albums and the Blake Babies albums."
