    Maybe I am just extremely picky, but I find the spacing in "Hendrix/ Cox/ Mitchell" odd - either no spaces around the slash or one space on both sides, I'd say. The tray has "Hendrix Cox Mitchell", by the way.
    The title is not consistent: the inlay says "Cry Of Love - Superconcert '70" (hyphen, apostrophe), the tray "Cry Of Love: Superconcert 70" (colon, no apostrophe).
    The poster (http://www.alvinlee.de/1970/70berlin.jpg) tells us the event was called "Super Concert 70", not "Superconcert '70". The tray also has "Super-concert 70" (dash, no apostrophe).
    Is it "Ezy Ryder" or "Ezy Rider"? Wasn't it "Ezy Rider" that was used on the first release?
    "Hey Baby (Land Of The New Rising Sun)" does not have "The" in the title.

    Like I said, maybe I am just extremely picky. I also don't get it why EH are using "Foxey" while the first release has "Foxy".

    I do like the use of the photos for these covers a lot!!

    For the rest, I'll get my coat...

    That is how Jimi spelt straight in the handwritten notes for his projected sequel to Electric Ladyland. He called the record "Strate Ahead" so maybe trigger was paying tribute to how Jimi spelt it.
