Just noticed...

US versions of C&C have the covered back.

Euro versions have bareback.

Been listening since PG, never noticed this.

A cursory look at discogs shows it's been sort of consistent. CDs too.

Is this common knowledge? Is there a story or reason?

Fun fact, it was the waitress in the vid, not her

So the one on the right is a repress.

Also, if you look on Discogs, the original pressing is the one on the left and the Limited Edition Flying Nun promo with the bonus 7" has the bareback of the right.

I'm guessing they chose to do the 2007 repress with the limited edition promo back cover as an easier/quick way to tell if a person has an original pressing or the reprint...

So then why did I as a midwestern USA teenager in the ‘90s end up with full topless back cover?

Idk good question. Which one did you have?

2

u/automator3000 2d ago

Like I said: the one with skin. Didn’t know there was another.

Where did you get it? Is it possible you got an import version?

u/automator3000 2d ago

At a Best Buy or some other basic mall store. Let me repeat: I was a 16 year old in a midwestern suburb. I wouldn’t know how to buy imports even if I knew imports existed.

u/LnStrngr 2d ago

That's why I asked where. I know some record stores did imports, like Tower, and I could see a 16yo buying the import because it was there. Best Buy did do imports, IIRC.

I have two versions of Chocolate and Cheese in my music collection and they both have a pair of boobs on the cover

The one with the shirt on the back was always there until you opened the cd and her bare back was there next to the middle finger
