Tell me about it. ;)

The mint numbers don't match any of those. The earlier disc has hand etched numbers by comparison. I'll try to find a match on the LDDB later.

It gets stranger with the CX. I can't turn it on with my 704, which seems like an opposite of the "auto CX" encoding some discs had to turn it on automatically in modern players. My older player would ignore such things though.

There's enough info to ask a seller now and avoid the earliest pressing at this point. The only other alternative would be to seek out a sealed pre-1998 VHS Hi-Fi copy. It seems like the movie was never really out of print even when the 20th anniversary rolled around.

Note the back of the VHS is easier to tell apart from the 20th Anniversary tapes.
