yeah ditto the number 1 of the list (Josh Rouse, is actually on Rykodisc too) so it sorta don't count either even though it isn't a reissue, maybe they had some leftover greenish cd trays and started running regular albums with 'em as well.

Rykodisc trademarked their green tinted jewel cases--I think it's usually mentioned in the fine print with the copyright info.
They were also fragile. The prongs holding the disc broke off all the time.

This was a band I played with, CD was in a red jewel case, the artwork was an anaglyph, when you looked at the artwork in the jewel case it was all skulls/blood/etc, then when you removed the case the actual artwork was ice cream cones, little funny animals, etc. I think you might have had to physically disassemble it in order to get to the song titles & credits and if that isn't the case it is what we should have done. We did manage to duplicate it for the LP release as well.
