Thiland has produced a couple of interesting disc designs including the totally unique peach graphics of 'Drowned World'.  "Drowned World Peach CD2". Thailand's second CD for 'Drowned World' came with this fantastic and totally unique peach coloured disc and full p/s in jewel casing. These are now fairly scarce and include Thailand manufacture.  "Ray Of Light silver disc CD album" This is the Thailand CD of Ray Of Light, which comes with totally cool silver coloured disc graphics. [BIGGER IMAGE HERE]
There has not been a great deal of collectable material from Malaysia, but what does appear is always interesting, and usually scarce, disapearing from the shelves in a short time.  "American Pie". One of two CD singles issued in Malaysia and Singapore (9 44825). This pressing has five mixes and totally unique brown disc colour. It also has a totally unique 'full colour' and 'full size' picture variation as used on the limited edition UK 12". It also has a unique back p/s design and strange spine titles... Has the words "Maunfactured and distributed by Warner Music Singapore Pte Ltd" on the disc. [BIGGER IMAGE HERE]
The UK has produced an untold number of interesting Madonna items, and in this section I will attemp, eventually, to list all interesting CD designs, commencing with the latest.  "American Pie 5 MIX PROMO CD". This is the five-mix version with totally unique white disc with great silver track titles. This comes with all five mixes issued on single format so far: Richard 'Humpty' Vission radio Mix 4:26, Richard 'Humpty' Vission Visits Madonna 4:45, Calderone Filter Dub 6:00, Calderone Vocal Dub 6:15 and Album Version 4:34. Catalogue number: PRO1819. [BIGGER IMAGE HERE]  "American Pie 2 MIX PROMO CD". This pressing is similar to the five mix one but obviously has just two mixes: Album Version 4:34 and Richard 'Humpty' Vission Radio Mix 4:26. The disc is white like the five mix version and the p/s is also same. [BIGGER IMAGE HERE]  "American Pie CD2". The second UK CD single comes with 'close-up' variation of the regular picture sleeve and catalogue number 'W519CD2', or '9362 448402' in Euro money. This comes with red disc and the following mixes: American Pie Album Version 4:34, American Pie Richard 'Humpty' Vission radio Mix 4:29 and American Pie Richard 'Humpty' Vission Visits Madonna 5:44.[BIGGER IMAGE HERE]
These are the CD bootleg Russian picture discs issued last year. Initially these obviously bootlegged copies were sold as official by many dealers across the net, selling for well over $200 each!!! Luckily their true identity has surfaced and now are five of many other Russian bootlegs that currently roam the Internet.
