To me two editions this title are known. In 1998 Panda Records has let out this series on CD-R. After one year in 1999 this series was issued on factory pressed CD’s by other label Secret Trax. The Secret Trax artworks printed in factory too. Artwork from Panda Records is perfect glossy print, without information under tray. It is obviously visible, that graphic of Panda Records is secondary and represents already a copy from Secret Trax. However why then discs Panda Records are primary according to one the year of release specified on CD-R?

Мне известны два издания этого наименования. В 1998 году Panda Records выпустила эту серию на CD-Rах. Спустя год в 1999 году эту серию издала уже на алюминиевых дисках другая фирма – Secret Trax. Полиграфия от Secret Trax выполнена типографским способом. А полиграфия Panda Records отпечатана на глянцевой фотобумаге с помощью струйного принтера и без информации помещенной под трэй. Явно видно, что полиграфия Panda Records является вторичной и представляет собой уже копию полиграфии от Secret Trax. Однако почему тогда диски Panda Records первичны согласно году выпуска, указанному на CD-R?
