| new zealand / south asia (?) cassettes |
| type | retail (unofficial?) |

| notes | similar to the australian releases, but with an extra double spiral logo printed on the cassettes. they have been described by sellers as made in australia or new zealand. the quality of the inlays is poor, and there are several spelling errors unlikely to appear on an official item, so they may as well be unofficial reproductions made in some south asian country. from a seller: the 90's releases often don't state made in nz, sometimes they say australasia, but the little swirly tape logo on the actual cassette is only found on NZ tapes. I think it must be the pressing factory logo. The NZ cassingle sleeves are usually a thin gloss paper version of the aussie card sleeve slipcases. |

| notes | the inlay is a reproduction from the us cassette. misspellings on cassette: "marc(s) registrada" i bought it from new zealand and it was advertised as australian, it came in a copy of the us cassette sleeve which looks to have been scanned, printed and folded to look like a regular cassette inlay, but is quite good quality. |

| pictures | inlay, cassette | |||
| notes | misspellings on cassette: "marc(s) registrada" The print on the inlay is blurred, and the folds show the design of perforated lines as a result of a poor quality reproduction of the australian slip box. The original "graphic" lettering has been used for the title printed on the cassette. That does not appear in other editions (compare it with the uk version). But it happens also with the In Bloom cassette. On the top side of the cassette there is a blue stamp number code (55988). |
