PRINCE Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP) Reissues

The Japanese cardboard sleeve reissues of the first ten Prince's albums are now out. I received them all this morning.
They look fantastic. The inner sleeves are exactly like the original albums. Controversy has the mighty poster inside (small size) and the same for Purple Rain. Lovesexy and Sign Of The Times have copy of the original stickers that were included with the albums. Overall, all together, they look FANTASTIC!!! (Even the material of the cardboard sleeves matches the original ones - Lovesexy is all shiny!)

The sound? I played very briefly a few CDs. They are not remastered but the volume is higher that the CD already released. Nothing that makes you go "Wow" but better then the CDs already out.

What about the packaging of ATWIAD? Does it have the original sticker (boy and baloon) as well?
