3020985, Warning about the liner notes...
Posted by BlakStaar, Mon Dec-16-19 01:53 AM
Only select versions of this release include liner notes, which has been the case with these posthumous releases. I should have known better. I'm on a budget so I bought the Deluxe 2CD version from Target because was on sale for $13.

I opened it up to find a CD booklet with lyrics only. I sold it on eBay and now I'm going to put that money toward the the 5CD+1 DVD version when I'm not a funemployment budget. In hindsight, I should have waited and purchased the 5CD version from the jump. I forgot about the DVD and live Detroit (!) concert recording.

I really don't need this on vinyl. I have the original 1999 LP and that's good enough for me.

From what I can tell, these include the extended liner notes "by longtime Rolling Stone critic David Fricke, revered Guns N’ Roses bassist and author Duff McKagan, Minneapolis historian and radio host Andrea Swensson, and Prince scholar Duane Tudahl."

- The Super Deluxe Edition (5CD + 1 DVD)
- 1999 Remastered Super Deluxe Edition (10 LP + DVD)

These DON'T:
- 1CD Remastered Edition
- 2CD Remastered Deluxe Edition
- 4LP Deluxe Edition 180G*
- 2LP 180G Purple

* I might be wrong about this version

Truthfully, the DVD should be made available for purchase separately. Le sigh.
