The Whole Story - Canada LP Release

I bought this brand new back in 1986. The jacket exterior is fairly identical to the UK release, except for the distribution information on the back.

This is also a gatefold release. I broke it up into two separate sections so that it can be seen better. You can see that the inner portion is also pretty identical to the UK release. I will say that the UK record jacket feels slightly thicker than the Canadian one though.

The Canadian LP comes in a cheap, clear plastic sleeve. The biggest difference between this record and the UK release are the record labels.

The UK release has some nicely done record labels that feature a small picture of Kate on them, but the Canadian record labels are overpowered by rainbow coloured EMI America logos at the top. They easily eat up nearly a third of the labels alone. A different EMI America logo is then added along the midway point at the side. This leaves little room for the track list.

The Whole Story - UK First Issue Pressing

Kate's first compilation album comes in a gatefold sleeve. My copy also retains its original circular sticker on the front cover. The sticker isn't a big deal, but you don't often see them on many copies.

I broke the inner sleeve up into two sections so that it can be seen better. The inside is nicely presented with photos, chart positions for albums and tracks, along with a chronological photo timeline of albums and singles along the bottom.

The record features picture labels, and the "KT" logo has been scratched into the run off vinyl on only the UK first issue pressing.
