they used for the Something to Remember and Bedtime Stories CD's, with coloured cases that turn yellow and cause one to go buying a replacement-grrr.

It's a shame, esp. since the Dress You Up one is the darkest anyway. It's the Crazy for You and Borderline ones though, that earn top dollar (well over GBP100.00 now in good condition). Have you seen the US promo of Like A Virgin on white vinyl? - this is one of my favourites! A beautiful record...

Yeah, but Gen, plastic cd cases, and coloured vinyl are so not the same thing....

"Have I seen it" ... lol, Shane, you sold me a copy! Gorgeous white colour - even my parents were amazed.

You also sold me that broken picture disc of Dress You Up. It's stuffed into my cupboard somewhere, probably getting darker. Lol

Hey, but you got that for next to nothing....that one is WAY darker than all the others even normally though...can you imagine how pissed off I was with the person who posted me that, with two others that, amazingly, survived the trip.

Ooh, virgin post here..
The reason plastic turns yellow with age is due to U/V light, heat & oxygen, so pretty much no avoiding it. Keeping them out of the sun & in a cool dry place will help, but oxygen alone is enough to turn it yellow.
There are products on the market (I have never tried any) that supposedly restore plastic to their original colour, such as PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish. I would be a bit wary of their claims & maybe try them on the 'broken disc in the cupboard somewhere' rather than risk ruining something valuable.
Will also vary depending on the quality of the plastic, manufacturers use optical brighteners to make plastic look clearer, but after a while I think these migrate to the surface. you could try coating them with a spray of clear UV resistant, how that affects how a disc plays is another story though.

Wow, that's interesting. I may have to do a little research. Especially if the rest go the same way. Oh well such as life.
I do have the virgin white record by the way, it is very nice, would love the Canadian version though which I do not have and probably never will, but never say never!! I never thought I would ever come across a copy of Dear Jessie picture CD single and actually I never did, it was bought for me by someone else still I never thought I would actually own it.

Wow, nice one, Corey! That's cool!

Mine never yellowed (the green BS or the white STR).

Mine haven't either.

I got a copy of Something To Remember with a picture disc! Orange flowers on a white background. It was at Real Groovy in the bargain bins, so I had no idea it was a picture disc. I think I got it through pot luck, lol.

Regular Version



My copy



Or am I wrong and all the Something To Remember discs look like that?

I don't think you're wrong. Is it a promo or something?? Google the catalogue number.... or check 991.com or somewhere....

This is my very rare LAP picture disc (very simialr in looks to the Cherish cd single):



Some info on this "mysterious" release:





I emailed Parrish about this, and he said yes, it's real, after seeing one auctioned over in England (he said it sold for over GBP100.00). He runs buysellmadonna.com, one of the largest Madonna sites.

Does your copy of STR look like that?

No, mines like your first pic - std. Yours is some sort of special issue...

On 991.com it says some of the Asain versions are "GOLD" editions with gold cd's - is yours from Asia?

Special. heeheehee.
