? Available for purchase is a New Sealed copy of Maria McKee ? Life Is Sweet on CD. (See My Photos) ? EXTREMELY RARE COVER VARIANT ? PROMO OR ADVANCE EDITION This is not the common retail version. Instead, it features the limited-edition cover art showing an Asian-costumed man with a vintage circus troupe?a design believed to have only appeared on promo or advance copies from Geffen?s initial 1996 pressings. These were likely distributed to media or insiders before being replaced by the more familiar ensemble photo in the general retail release. ? I believe it to be the same UPC (720642481929) and catalog number (GEFD-24819), but a completely different, seldom-seen cover. ? Highly sought-after by collectors?especially in sealed condition, which is exceptionally scarce. ????? Undocumented in major discography sites like Discogs, making this a hidden gem for serious collectors. OVERVIEW: A bold departure from her earlier work, Life Is Sweet blends alt-country roots with dramatic, orchestral art rock. This 1996 release showcases Maria McKee's powerful, theatrical vocal range and poetic lyricism. From the haunting ballad ?Scarlover? to the defiant title track, this album has become a cult classic?long out of print and hard to find in any condition, let alone sealed. FURTHER DETAILS: ? New Sealed ? Original 1996 GEFFEN Release ? GEFD-24819 ? UPC: I believe the UPC is 0720642481929 but I don't know for sure because of the white sticker covering it. I don't want to pull off the sticker and risk pulling some of the shrink wrap off. ? Includes tracks like ?Absolutely Barking Stars? ?This Perfect Dress? ?
