Did I get screwed?

So I went to my local music store today and purchased a used copy of Planet Earth for $7. First of all, the cover is holographic--were all copies this way? I thought I've seen copies that just have the photo of P standing over the earth. Secondly, the tracks were not listed on the back of the jewel case, nor were they listed anywhere on the inside--again, were all copies issued this way? Third, there was no booklet inside the jewel case--is there supposed to be one? I'm wondering if I got tonk

this sounds like the legal, official released cd > you did not get screwed, wink

mine have that hologram too, and all had this - only not the Mail On Sunday, these had a paper cover wallet (whatever that is called) - but my LF cd copy is still sealed, but I think it's true that the title of the songs aren't listed anywhere.

Let others correct me if not true.

It's not a hologram.

The track listing is not on the case at all. There is no booklet. It's very basic in packaging.

It's legit.

You're still getting screwed because it's Planet Earth though.

Sorry, I guess the correct terminology would have been a "lenticular" cover. Thanks to all for the input. thumbs up!

Yeah, I can never remember that word. It's weird because just when I replied to the thread, I had come home from Borders, and they had these lenticular pictures for sale, including a ruler w/ penguins on it. They were so cool. It always reminds me of being a kid, because those types of pics were so popular in the 70's.

The D&P cover was a hologram, btw.
