I have a really random question about the Encore Un Soir CD releases - wondering if anyone else had a similar experience or can confirm something for me.  (Given all the activity around Dansons, this is probably the worst time to ask, but anyway...)

I vaguely recall having issues with Amazon US when I pre-ordered the deluxe CD and received what seemed to be a standard CD.  IIRC, I returned that for a replacement.  I've had a sealed EUS CD ever since - which I assume is that replacement.  The CD I have looks to all intents and purposes to be the standard digisleeve CD.  The track listing only shows the standard 12 tracks, and the hype sticker on the front doesn't say anything about being a deluxe edition or mention any deluxe tracks.

BUT, the barcode on the back has been stickered over with a replacement barcode, which is the Deluxe Edition barcode.

So, my question: is anyone aware of deluxe editions ever being released in standard edition packaging?  I really don't understand how that would happen, but I can't think of any other reason why I would have a deluxe edition barcode stickered over a standard edition barcode on the outer wrap.  Maybe there was an error during manufacturing where they mistakenly packaged a run of deluxe discs in standard sleeves, and rather than repackage everything they just opted to add a sticker?  Kind of annoying if true, since the packaging wouldn't match the disc, but it would have been a cheaper option than having to repack an entire factory run.

And yes, the obvious solution here is to open the disc and check!  But if it's just the standard release I'd like to sell it as a brand new, factory-sealed item, which obviously wouldn't be the case if I open it.

Told you it was a random question...
