| | Posted: | | | | if you are correct, you should also change the cover as that would be the first release. | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| | Posted: | | | | If my memory is correct both Columbia and Universal offered Jewel and Keep Cases at the same time.
PolyGram offered Drawer cases then went to Keep Cases. | | | Are you local?

| | Posted: | | | | Nearly everything I have in a jewel case is some cheapo Platinum title. But it seems even Platinum has gone the keep case route. I'm glad, too, because it's a nuisance to try and scan the jewel case images. At least the jewel case used by Platinum. If they'd used a case like a CD jewel case, it'd be a different matter. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | I seem to remember that back in the late 90's,, if a DVD came in a Keepcase it was vast improvement over..... yechh Jewel cases....  Meaning that Jewel cases always came out first over Keep Cases ..  | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | Its Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels released 01 March 1999 as i said in my first post Universal took over PolyGram in 1999 as the existing scans have a Universal symbol on them and mine don't it's making me think that mine was released before the takeover and the existing after, does that make sense? |

| | Posted: | | | | If it's the UK version, Polygram is almost certainly the original, yes. However, I got Notting Hill when it first came out, which was released in a similar period, and although mine was a keep case I saw lots of jewel cases in the shops as well. So they just messin' wit us, man! |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes i have Notting Hill in a Jewel case and the profile for that one has the case type as Jewel, not sure when they stopped using Jewels as i haven't seen one for years. |
