Sorry, the mexican promo you mean, is a POSTER.
You can see it here: http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=231533
I don’t know anything about that strange cover...
Maybe a reason to let us buy another Ballad hits Cd :-P

I’m not sure, but I think that CD is a bootleg from hungary or Poland or somewhere near there.

This is no bootleg. EMI SA released the album with this loose sleeve with the Per&Marie picture featured in the booklet. Sales for TBH hasn’t been very well in SA, and because the original cover does not show their faces, people down here do not know the album and will not buy it. The album includes the normal booklet. The cover is just used as a clever promo trick so that people who don’t know the raspberry cover will still buy the album when they see this picture of P&M. That’s all. If anybody wants me to help them buy one, just e-mail me too!

Hmmm... very interesting! Some kind of bootleg maybe? Or a promo, perhaps??
