“Barcode text: "D123571 Mfd. for BMG Direct 6550 East 30th St., Indianapolis, IN 46219 under license." Blurb on back: "Digitally remastered from original source tapes for superior sound quality." Compact Disc Digital Audio logo in lower-left corner on front cover and in lower-right corner on back. Packaged in a standard jewel case with an opaque black tray. Track times on packaging are slightly inaccurate; correct times are listed here, taken from a CD rip on iTunes. Disc label design is identical to Audio Master+ releases, complete with logo, but the audio used is from the 1995 remaster (as is the case with all other versions of the latter). BMG Direct credited on Back Cover. BMG Direct Marketing, Inc. credited on CD Face. Tracks 1 and 2 are mastered at a considerably lower volume than the rest of the album, which itself is slightly quieter than other Police albums in this set of remasters. Furthermore, track 2 is slightly quieter than track 1.”
