There are two different "Canadian" versions. At first, you could buy the UK
one in Canada as well. This, of course, was and still is, a regular UK version.
On the other hand, long after the original boxes came out, a genuine Canadian
box came out in Canada, containing Canadian versions of the CDs (including the
other The Kick Inside cover). The CD booklets are thinner and in some cases
don't contain the lyrics. The two special CDs don't contain lyrics either (only
the Japanese do). There are no stickers, and the picture book is identical to
the UK one (the Japanese is slightly different with a matte instead of a glossy
cover, different colors used on the cover, and with a different ordering of
the pictures (which even is kind of important if you are photocopying the
booklet, have the UK one and the Japanese one, want to save copies (color
copies are expensive) and don't pay attention...).

There's also a French version of the CD box, but from the outside it looks
identical to the UK one. Unfortunately it's shrink-wrapped in the shop where
I've seen it. The only difference is a sticker saying "Contient des titres
Inedits".

Bye,

Uli
