Front cover of the four-page booklet.
Page three states "Printed in Japan."


Rear tray insert "Printed in Japan." without barcode.
Note that "Printed in Japan" is in a different typeface than the rest of the lettering,
indicating a little cut and paste action. Except for this change, and the addition of
the 32XD-106 catalog number at top left, this back inlay is identical to the
inlay printed in the US for the Japanese-pressed target. See separate entry.
Nothing is printed on the reverse.


Disc variations (a)-(e) were issued with this sticker obi.


Disc variation (e) was also issued with this paper obi. The four-panel one-sided Japanese insert is in the background.

Notes: This disc is scarce even in Japan. Many copies have surfaced in recent years
and the price, when auctioned on eBay, has softened somewhat.
