Okay... so I just noticed something odd that I can't seem to find any information on. Here's a picture of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here cover art - very familiar, is it not?



Now here's a picture of my pressing:



Notice some subtle differences in the buildings and the man leaning backwards as opposed to forwards.

Does anyone know anything about this?? Any comments are appreciated.

From Wiki:

Beneath the outer cover, which on the U.S. release was dark blue, Columbia originally released the LP with a slightly different sleeve, using an alternative picture showing the burning man standing up straight (instead of leaning toward the other businessman) and taken from a lower angle. Columbia started using the more familiar EMI photo in 1984 for their first CD issue and kept using it in subsequent reissues, the only exception being the " http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Super_Bit_Mapping&action=edit&redlink=1 - SBM MasterSound Collector's Edition". There are other, subtler differences in the artwork of the more commonly-found remastered CD: the naked female is clearly visible behind the veil in the LP artwork, but is almost completely obscured in the remastered CD booklet; the photo of the diver used in this booklet is larger, and shows more of the background salt formations; additional black-and-white photos of the band working in Abbey Road Studios were added to this booklet as well.

When you bought it, they looked at your face and well, you know..

I don't have any of those. But seriously, yours seems quite odd, well at least for me cause I have a different one, duh!

I got this one:


I think mine's the remaster, though I may be wrong.
