The a-ha logo is also printed in grey at the top making it virtually non-existant, with the title "CAST IN STEEL" as usual shown in silver above the centre ring. At the lower half of the disc, there is some Ukrainian Copyright information which is printed very faintly and reads; "Небпавомірнс відуворення розповсюдження здавання в майновий найм (оренду), комерційний прокат трансляція через ефір та публічне сповіщення без дозволу правовласника заборонено. Всі права дотримано. Дли розповсюдження тільки на території України". It also displays that the CD is "Under license from UMG Recordings Services INC.", and "Not for sale outside Ukraine". The three regular "WE LOVE MUSIC", "UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP" and "polydor" logos are also shown in silver and included at the bottom. Around the outer edge of the disc is the standard European distributing text; "℗&© 2015 Swinglong Ltd. /We Love Music, under exclusive license to Polydor/Island, a division of Universal Music GmbH. All rights reserved. LC 19045. 06025 4743612 2". The inside of the CD comes with the same Lyric booklet as the UK release, but at the bottom of the back cover it again additionally displays the "UMG Recordings Services INC." licensing text and that the CD is "Not for sale outside Ukraine". On the inside of the back cover, it has the wording; "Ukrainian special edition COMP MUSIC" printed which can be seen through the front of the spine. The release also comes with the same Catalogue number as the UK edition 06025 4743612 2.
