As many other young Who fans I am attempting to collect every Classic Story on DVD that I can, but as I am in Region 1 several DVDs are out of print. To combat this problem and save some money I have begun importing Region 2 DVD releases. I just received Pyramids of Mars which was recently taken out of print in Region 1 and opened the case to discover the DVD, instead of having the cover art, the disc was silver with the Doctor Who logo with Pyramids of Mars written beneath it. As I do with all DVDs I purchase online I checked over the case and disc to make sure it wasn't a bootleg, but I find the disc art odd. I don't think the DVD is a bootleg as everything else checks out and the source I used is reliable. Is this plain silver disc art what is used on the other Pyramids of Mars Region 2 DVDs? Is it used on any other releases, just so I'm not surprised if I get another like this?

The Dalek invasion of Earth
The Leisure Hive
Earthshock
The Two Doctors
Ghostlight
The Curse of Fenric
because they were the very early releases that never got a Special Edition re-reissue with newer features or the Cover Art on the Disc.

Thanks for that list! Now I won't be surprised when I get those. I've already gotten Invasion of Earth, Green Death and Ark in Space as Region 1 Releases. |

The Green Death and Ark in Space DID get special editions.

Interesting... The Region 4 versions ALL have something on the discs. Most of them just have the roundels shaded whatever colour the cover of the case was (with the story name printed on it too); the later releases have the cover art itself. This has no bearing on the topic, just an obversation I thought was interesting  |

Pity; those early stories are some I'd most appreciate a SE for. Can't be helped, though. Oh agreed
Ghost light in particular could do with some picture quality upgrade
