    This listing shows a sleeve the same as "Version 3" of the Australian pressing (red spine text on the wrapped photo background). My copy of this release has a sleeve the same as "Version 1" of the Australian pressing (white spine text on the wrapped photo background). One could assume it went through the same progression from Version 1 to Version 2 to Version 3 as was done for the Australian pressing.
