Nothing missing. They later took out the chord player because they would break easy. They kept the same box , but they would put a piece of white tape over the graphics on the box. |

Spookily Joe I was reading the liner notes for Close Up last night while listening to CD3 in bed. I saw this picture and was looking at it cause I thought the guitar looked small and then realized it was a memorabilia item. I reckon you might get a kick out of seeing this picture (even if you've seen it before!)
