    Is the main difference between this version and https://www.discogs.sie.com/release/8436609-Michael-Jackson-Bad the indent on this versions label?

      Edited 3 years ago
      I have this version but there is a fold-out Pepsi sponsored tour poster and concert ticket coupons and exclusive T-shirt offer inside with the UK tour dates from 14th July - 23rd July 1988.

      Not sure if this is a different version of the existing UK one similar to the Swedish pepsi one?

        I think this is the version I have, although my matrix numbers end in A12 and B18.

          I'm pretty sure this is the version I have BUT the matrix on mine is:
          450290-1 A6
          450290-1 B9
          ..but I can't find that particular version.
