Distinguished from Sound + Vision by hub stamp "MADE IN USA." Most of these were also pressed and glass made by PDO, but it is possible that this release was pressed by PMDC on glass made by PDO as results of PMDC's takeover of PDO in June 1991.

    very good and clear sound,sound quality can be a little lacking on the rarities but is understandable, has some very realistic 3d sound to some tracks, the booklet is very interesting and the overall presentation is very beautiful, quality of plastic casing not good, crumbled upon opening it, it seems the later editions with a cd rom instead of cdv are still intact, because of this i can't rate it too high.
