Question
My Fiancee is a HUGE Pumpkins fan. She's got the cds, vinyls, posters, VHS/DVDs, and a rare concert tour shirt. But because of where we live, she was never able to get an Aeroplane box set. So I got her one on ebay that was already opened but its in perfect condition.. but she is scared to touch it for fear of messing it up. So I bought her another one on ebay that is sealed. After we recieved it I noticed that they aren't exactly the same. The hinges on the back are shaped differently, the barcode is different, and the paper on the back that shows the box's contents are shaped different. Are they just from two different pressings, or is there something more to it?  

Answer
Hi there;

It's possible that one is a US version and the other is from the UK. I could be wrong, but I think the boxed set was only pressed once, as it was advertised as a limited edition release. Perhaps they simply had more than one type of hinge they were able to use. I don't know any further info on it. It's odd that they'd be shaped differently. Hope that helps anyway.
