I had no doubt, the Japanese release is far better & prettier than the European release. It's a digisleeve and not a cardboard sleeve. I will receive mine this week, hopefully.

Raising an eyebrow at the back cover still saying "11 songs" though

Good spot! Could Open Strings have been recorded at another time perhaps??

No, the band have confirmed the songs were all recorded together in Nov/Dec (with most of Spike Island in August).

I have my doubts about Got To Have Love though. Sounds a bit different.

I'd always hoped they'd have used *something* of the original version of GTHL on the album, just so that Steve was present in some form. But no, it appears to be a total re-recording.

Yeah apart from the sample obviously. But it seems at least mixed differently. All the record features Jarvis vocals way above the instrument. And on Got to Have Love, its the opposite. At least on the streaming version, as i dont have my CD yet. Is it intentional to have the sample more present ? I dont know. But its clearly different from the rest of the record. A bit like Spike Island, which was recorded before, but it feels less different.

I reckon they left a little trace.  Like the Beatles did with George Harrison on Now and Then (he didn't play a full guitar track but they found a tiny excerpt of slide they could use).

 Think the packaging is the same, actually. You can get a better preview of it here.

 You're right! Received mine today. I thought I noticed a certain thickness in the photo that made it look like a digisleeve, but it's not...

If it is the same as the European release... mine's not proving very durable, blue already rubbing off the spine.
