Sure enough, it listed the import version as coming out in 1995, and listed the label as "B", whatever that means. Then, the 'US version' was listed as being released on MSI on September 3, 1997. It didn't give any actual info about the albums, or any differences in terms of tracks. Does anyone know anything about ROCK being released in the US last year? rob=) -Pat. Says: I have also seen the US version available, and have wondered about it. Any info would be appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
