Label : Mobile Tavs Limited
Cat. NO. : GR-002 (on the back of the sleeve, but the matrix may be some other numbers)

Comments : On the first version the centers have the name : Weapons And Flowers as title or plain black labels. This is a full printed sleeve. The front print lacks  detail and depth.
The matrix on the disc is GR-03 A/B.
The other one has pink / white centers and the back (red square with track info) is a sticker. The front print is more detailed and looks more refined.
The matrix on the disc is GAR-7001 A/B. This disc is more heavy and feels more solid.

The sound on all versions is the same, no noticeable differences.

    Infamous Monsters Of Rock Festival where 2 fans die in the audience during GN’R’s set. More footage for the ‘Paradise City’ video was shot at this show. Several times throughout the set, the band tells the crowd to take a step back because the audience is becoming too crowded. Axl’s quote after ‘Mr. Brownstone’ is haunting – “Don’t try to kill each other ‘cuz we’d like to see you here again.” During Megadeth’s set, Axl & Lars Ulrich join for ‘Anarchy In The UK.’
