Annotation

The Fatbox comes in a card slip-case. The copy in my hand has different artwork to that from Amazon shown here on 2017-12-16.
It has different thumbnails and three lines of text below the thumbnails. It also has a logo in the top left-hand corner of both the Fatbox and the slip-case saying '4CD Luxury Box Set'.
