This is the NEW, SECOND PRESSING of the European edition. As a consequence, this compilation includes the "second versions" of "They Don't Care About Us", which has now been censored, the lyric ‘jew me’ has been changed to ‘chew me’, and ‘kike me’ has been changed to ‘hike me’. On "HIStory", the intro now samples "Mussorgsky’s The Great Gates Of Kiev".
Except for the front sticker (01-474709-10), it was impossible to differentiate this version from another. However, printing on outer ring on top of the discs 1 and 2 says: "Made in Austria. BIEM/SDRM 474709 2 (01-474709-10)"
Comes in a fat jewel case, with two gold-coloured discs (on both data and face side), a 52-page color booklet and an official HIStory merchandise paper.
Sticker on this edition (see picture): 150 MINUTES OF MUSIC! 15 ORIGINAL HITS DIGITALLY REMASTERED PLUS 15 BRAND NEW SONGS INCLUDING SCREAM (DUET WITH JANET JACKSON) CHILDHOOD (THEME FROM "FREE WILLY 2") CONTAINS 52-PAGE HISTORY COLOR BOOKLET 01-474709-10
