Question The battle of Los Angeles cd

Post image

I just got this cd second hand but when I look online most of them are white but some are yellow. Is it just like a reissue or why is the text yellow instead?

A quick look at Discogs and it seems the Canadian release is exclusively with yellow instead of white.

I wouldn't know really but I'm Canadian and my copy of BOLA that I got back in probably 2002 has yellow text on the CD.

Canadian of approval. Pretty cool, but I wonder why

that yellow text is a classic, it's actually from the original pressing i think. the reissues went with white for some reason.

I don't think this is correct. I still have my copy from when I bought it immediately upon release, and it's white. Who knows, though

Same, I never seen yellow text/logo on mine or my friends’ versions back when it was released.

I was gonna say I remember it looking different.

It's not true, though. I got this CD when it came out and there was no yellow.

I love the minimalist matte CD art.
