"Genuine" Decca CD artwork

After what would best be described as a "heated, but healthy" debate on the Danny Elfman film music site forum, regarding the validity of the first CD artwork images I posted on this site (see here), I can now reveal what surely is the official CD artwork for the soundtrack!

Buy the CD from amazon™

available to buy here

This image has yet to be posted on the Amazon product page, but according to Soundtrack Collector.com, this image was sourced from the Decca Classics site, so it is certain to be genuine.

Thanks to Ton Werkman at the incredible Soundtrack Collector web site for providing me with this image.

Further thoughts on the artwork ...

	It's interesting to note that this apparently genuine cover artwork is clearly based on the USA novel re-issue imagery. For official confirmation of this, click here

	The alternate artwork, which was previously believed to be [and still coud be] genuine was instead based on the UK novel re-issue artwork (here)

	Confirmation that the artwork on this page is genuine is available by visiting I-Classics

So, are both covers "real" or was the original one merely a clever hoax? The undeniable connections with the book covers make it difficult to confirm, but all will be revealed soon, I am sure ...

According the the Decca and Amazon web sites, the Red Dragon soundtrack will be an "Enhanced CD". This probably means that an extra feature such as an original trailer for the movie will be included on the CD in QuickTime format. However, at present the nature of the "Enhanced" content has not been officially revealed. Watch this space for more details as I get them ...
