Some countries issued a special edition of this
album in digipack. It's a four way digipack, the disc is the same as the normal issue, but the booklet is different : the cover is different (with the black and white picture of Sting under writings), there is less pages, with only the lyrics (as the credits are written on a part of the digipack). |
As other Sting album, The soul cages was reissued
as "Digitally remastered edition" in 1998. The design of the reissues is slightly different from the original. The main difference is the back sleeve, where the track list is written darker and with a different font. |
My favourit item is the US promotional issue... |
