Re: Special Packaging of The Red Shoes

[Robb McCaffree <nsrjm@mednet.ucla.edu>]

The heart-shaped box, at least, is not an official release. It 
contains a UK Red Shoes CD, a pair of red ballet slippers and a 
"certificate of authenticity." The box itself invariably falls 
apart and has to be reglued. I found mine for $30 US, already 
unglued, missing the certificate and having the import CD 
replaced with a US one. I don't know about the other box. I 
don't think there are any "alternate" versions of TRS.
