Adventures in cd-buying

rosiesparkI've been tormented for weeks by the knowledge that a local record shop had a different version of My Chemical Romance's debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, with videos of two of their earliest songs on it. Irresistable, no? Even though I already own the album on cd, bought from Play back in May during my first flush of enthusiasm for the band. I finally gave in to temptation on Saturday and went shopping. I do this with Dunnett and Tolkien books, but this is the first I've been compelled to acquire multiple copies of a cd!
My new purchase seems to be the original 2002 release - it comes with an Eyeball Records sampler on a separate disc - and is copyright Eyeball Records 2002. The one I got from Play also has Polydor in the copyright info, with 2004 as the year, so I think it must be a re-issue. The cd inserts are identical and apart from the videos, the disc content appears to be the same. The videos, to my disappointment, can only be viewed in a little window that has resisted all my efforts to enlarge it. Sad. But then I discovered one small difference on the disc itself.
The 2004 Polydor disc, the one that I imagine most people have, has the usual copyright and all-rights-reserved spiel in tiny print running round the edge of the disc. The one I bought on Saturday has this:
"Unauthorised duplication is a violation of applicable laws and WILL RESULT IN GERARD COMING TO YOUR HOUSE AND SUCKING YOUR BLOOD."
Um, Gerard? That is NOT a deterrent. AT ALL. ::flails::
I just know that it was his idea to tweak the copyright information on the disc. &hearts
