Musicology packaging

Thanks to Doowop from Housquake.com-

"OK here are som details on the album (had a first look and feel today).

Note: might differ from country to country...

The content:
No added tracks (unless if hidden on the CD). But the Musicology video is on the CD.

The look:
Dunno what you call this kind of CD-packaging, but it's a cardboard material with smooth surface with no "locking mechanism". It folds in two, the back side of the cover extending so that it wraps around half of the front cover.
There's a sticker on saying it contains "the smash hits Musicology and Call My Name" (good indication of the next single, I guess).
The booklets' back and front cover is designed to look as an old book. It doesn't really contain any additional information than the lyrics and who did what on which song (mostly Prince doing all instruments and vocals). The background styling of the pages (around 12-24 of them) is inspired by (or are actual reprints of) Da Vinci scientific drawings. Next to the lyrics to Dear Mr. Man there's a picture of cartridge cases lying among some leafs on the ground - the only "statement" in the booklet.
The first page has a picture of Prince in a black suit sitting in a meditative fashion in a fancy chair on a balcony with a lit skyline behind him. Other pictures of Prince includes one of his face, pretty much similar to that of the CD cover (think it's been posted here).
There's a picture of Prince in red suit with handkerchief in his hand dancing. In the back to girls also dancing. It's been posted here, I think.
Last page has Prince sitting on a stool on a stage playing acustic guitar. The centerfold is the band with P in front in a pinstriped black suit. There's also a picture of the horn section going at it in a concert setup. A couple of more P pics that can't remember.

In think it's a pretty nice art work. A lot better than what you could expect from looking at the cover (which is terrible IMO)."
"New Power slide...."
