The Walrus Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I seem to recall seeing "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" also released in blue-tint background instead of the regular yellow-ish/tan-ish back ground. Same cover with the buildings--just a different, colored background tint: blue. Anybody have one of these? Is there a story behind it---or was this just a limited run (for whatever reason)? Thanks.

pillowy star Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I actually have the blue one. Means, the front background is blue, the back background is beige. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scalzunfield Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 My girlfriend bought me a blue copy after I already had the cream-colored one. I still have it unwrapped too. I'm not sure if it'll ever be worth anything (as the only ones now are cream-colored) but I'm keeping it unwrapped until the cream-colored copy is destroyed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Steve Brule Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 There is also a white one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwrkb Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 There is also a white one. i thought so. i may have that one too... i know i have three or four copies of the album, but i am completely colorblind so i thought i may have been been thinking the blue and white one were one and the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Is there any difference between the three albums? And does anybody have a photo of the white one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 My version has a blue cardboard outer cover and then the main slipcase art is cream. I remember that, on the other versions, if the outer cardboard was cream then the inside art was blue - never seen the white one so who knows what craziness that hides behind it. I hate cardboard outercases, by the way. Nearly as much as I hate the see-through cd holders - they just look bad to me (even with some kind of picture behind them), don't know quite why.

Look on a normal CD without a slipcase. On the back, you have a barcode and a bunch of "fine print", legal stuff. If you use a slipcase, you can put the barcode and fine print, legal text on the slipcase and have a nice clean back for the actuall CD. I think it lets the artist have album art they really want.

OOO Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 My girlfriend bought me a blue copy after I already had the cream-colored one. I still have it unwrapped too. I'm not sure if it'll ever be worth anything (as the only ones now are cream-colored) but I'm keeping it unwrapped until the cream-colored copy is destroyed. i think you should have left it wrapped, not unwrapped.
