On Air – cover confusion

White stripe or not? Photo: © 2013 Apple Corps Ltd.

On Amazon, you will find two different pack shots of the On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2. These have slight variations, apart from the angle.

One features a vertical white stripe with the Beatles and Apple logos, in the same fashion as the red and blue albums, as well as the 2009 remastered CD’s, the other one hasn’t got this embellishment.

The pack shot of the remastered Live at the BBC does not have this confusing extra photo, it clearly has a vertical black stripe.

There are other small differences as well, such as the Apple “label” CD surface having black writing in one shot and white in the other.

My guess is that Amazon featured both these mock-ups by mistake, one should have been discarded. When we see the real digipack it’ll have that white stripe, I’m sure.
