Since I have both copies (UK and Canadian), I have both design (managed to get a UK version finally), I was able to compare both..

I see the UK version has the same inlay as the Canadian, but I was wondering where was the picture of Steve.. the Canadian edition has transparent plastic instead of blue, so you see Steve's picture through it..

I took my UK cover, took it out of the box, and there you go.. full Steve picture.. completely hidden..

What's up with that? I like the blue, but I'm a bit surprised the Canadian edition as it right, or was it meant to be hidden? :evil4:

Thanks for that, I hadn't bothered to pull the front cover out to look behind it.

Good question, sounds like a cock up on the UK version.

Jesus!!!! Thanks Spotnik. Have my 5 11 since before last Christmas & only discovered it now. I normally check the back of the covers. Maybe I subconsciously gave up 'cos on most there's nothing worth checking out.

Will that look good scanned & enlarged to poster size or what?

Hadn't even noticed this picture yet. No idea why it should be hidden like that.

I finally got my copy of 511 last week from HMV. they lost my order 3 TIMES!

I had a blast being there live, watching the dvd just reminded me of the best part of my trip to london. I actually even spotted me in the crowd! 17 minute and 18 second into the dvd, in the middle of NO performance of Ceremony. :)

Well, I found that one while scanning the sucker for this site...

The Canadian edition is transparent, so you see Steve's picture when you open the case..

Other than that, the only difference between both designs are the cover picture... the rest is the same, except the Canadian edition has french on it of course :D
