When the CD is removed, the inside rear-jewel photo is a LIVE concert shot with VM and his white Dean guitar. Rear panel CD-Jewel is the same as the US version but without the track timings and features a bonus track for Japan: Lifeforce (Demo).

Above: UK/EUROPE packaging released as a CD-Jewel with 8 page booklet.

Front Cover is the same as the Japanese front cover but the Vinnie Moore lettering on the US version covers the photo in a different place (guitar headstock) due to the aspect ratio being different to a square shape for CD-Jewel and the letterbox shape for the digipak format.

Rear Jewelcase is the same as the US version, other than the different barcode and the CARGO RECORDS logo. The Japanese one differs as there is no track timings and has various japanese logos added (see photos above).

Page 2 of the booklet is an exclusive photo to this release (Vinnie with acoustic guitar)

Page 3 is the photo used on the US inside rear Jewelcase

Page 4 is the same photo as the US 3rd front panel digipak and Japanese 3rd panel fold-out but only with the first 5 album track musician listing.

Page 5 is the same colour photo used as the Japanese rear centre fold-out panel and Japanese CD label (blue monochrome) but with the last 5 album track musician listing

Page 6 is the same photo used as the US inside 3rd panel digipak and Japanese inside 3rd panel fold-out. All have the Album Details and Specisal Thanks wording with different layouts.

Page 7 is the same photo used on the US inside digipak first panel, US inside first panerl fold-out. This booklet version page has the logos and text slightly arranged in different places.
