Nice Things & A Question

Hi all,
Had a few Roxette-related moments and thoughts today, and decided I’d delight you to them :-P
* Something Nice Happened Today *
It’s the school holidays, but for me (and many other 16 year olds), I was working at the school. So anyway, I took along The Ballad Hits and Don’t Bore Us... . Waited until just me and my friends were in the classroom alone, and popped on ’DBUGTTC!’. Despite one of my friends claiming to find Roxette boring, he still mouthed the words to It Must Have Been Love :-D
But it got better (hold onto your seats folks)...
By 2pm, almost everyone had gone home, and it was just me and my teacher in the classroom. So I put on The Ballad Hits (as there’s a CD player in the classroom...). Much to my surprise, she was singing along to Listen To Your Heart and commented, “Finally, something with a good tune!”, which was nice. Then came Spending My Time: To even greater surprise, she sang the backing vocals too early (“spending myyyyy tiiiiime”), which means she must have known the song before hand. I just sat there grinning :-D
Ok, not the most exciting story, but you’re the only people who’d even consider listening to it!
* Question *
A couple of weeks ago, I bought a copy of “Look Sharp!”. I’m a new fan, so don’t shoot me for not having it... I think that excuse is wearing out now :-P Anyway, I was at one of my favourite sites, Roxservice.com, and noticed that the LS! CD has is black with a yellow star.
Mine has no colour on it, and only has the text in black. The EMI logo isn’t quite as it usually is (black box “E”/white box “M”/black box “I”, instead of black box on white background... am I making any sense?), for example it is different to my cassette version of “LS!”
It’s an official CD, but is it rare or anything? Or is it just common junk which needs destroying?
If someone asked me this about ABBA, I’d laugh at them. So please, laugh at me, but also guide me in the right direction :-)

Thanks for replying - Mystery solved. My CD was “made in the USA”, but I doubt this changes anything.
