Ain't Dis Da Life album cover - Cindy M - 08-01-2019

Who has the first pressing of Ain't Dis Da Life with the brown back cover? The next pressing was the black, sharper version. Who knows what else is different? (both versions are at https://mjblue.com/aaddl.html. Right click on images to enlarge.)

Chicken road has a different publisher on the second press, what else??

That's the only change I remember - you win the prize.

I believe I was the who pointed out the incorrect publisher as I worked for MJ's booking agency for a short time.

So more trivia: what item(s) did I contribute to the shadow box?

P.S. Michael had the shadow box still. I should have taken a photo of it. It was in his hallway.

Oh, brother, NOW you've got me. I just 'woke up' a year and a half ago remember?

Interesting! I checked my copy of the album, and it is the second pressing. Peter

If I had to guess, it would be the tiny Viking ship... am not sure why I would guess that.  Perhaps you told me many years ago?  I forget!

Michael and Sally claimed I gave them the ship but I didn't have a recollection of that but they insisted. Alrightee then. But I do know I gave him the toothpick as I still have mine. I often wonder if I should have gave him the ivory one.
