I have a number of CDs with these on and they're all over the place in the shops: little sliver holographic ones taht say SPECIAL EDITION with a little red 8-pointed asterisk and the Universal logo.

So what the fuck are they about? I've not found anything remotely 'Special' about any of them except that I think my copy of Pulp's 'We Love Life' has green writing and my flatmates has brown, but then his might have the sticker.

Isn't this just trades descriptions at worst and annoying shit at best?
