Comparing new alternate covers from A COMPLETE photo book

[zoomzoom]

I thought it would be interesting to compare the new pictures from the A COMPLETE photo book with the covers. So here we go:

Spoiler:

For My Dear...

Spoiler:

WHATEVER

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

TO BE

Spoiler:

Boys & Girls

Spoiler:

Is it just me or is the 3rd picture in the bottom row the same as the new one?

A

Spoiler:

I wish they would've chosen this, you can't see that bad hair and the bubbles make it pretty interesting.

appears

Spoiler:

This looks more like an alternate LOVEppears cover since she isn't painted dark.

kanariya

Spoiler:

Fly high

Spoiler:

The new picture is slightly different, with her arms and legs in different position.

vogue

Spoiler:

The same picture, but without text.

Far away

Spoiler:

The new picture is slightly different, her arm is down.

SEASONS

Spoiler:

In the new picture, she looks into the camera instead of above it and they made it sepia. Also, the picture of Far away in her hand is the alternate Far away cover.

SURREAL

Spoiler:

AUDIENCE

Spoiler:

M

Spoiler:

The new picture has been released before, though I'm not sure where.

evolution

Spoiler:

NEVER EVER

Spoiler:

Endless Sorrow

Spoiler:

UNITE!

Spoiler:

This new picture has also been released in magazines before.

Dearest

Spoiler:

Daybreak

Spoiler:

Same picture, only cropped. Not sure if this is a cheap way of passing it off as a new picture.

Free & Easy

Spoiler:

Again, the "new" picture is the same, only cropped.

H

Spoiler:

Voyage

Spoiler:

And the horse is gone...

&

Spoiler:

The new picture looks familiar, but I guess it's just because it's close to the others

forgiveness

Spoiler:

This one is a little odd. It's the same picture, but in the new version, it shows more of the top of the picture which was cropped in the original. But then it crops more of the bottom off. Also, it has a weird reddish color and it's not because of the scanning. I took my copy of the photo book and compared it to the forgiveness single and the picture is indeed more red.

No way to say

Spoiler:

Moments

Spoiler:

INSPIRE

Spoiler:

Identical picture, no text.

CAROLS

Spoiler:

Almost same picture, though she's not moving.

STEP you/is this LOVE?

Spoiler:

In the booklet for this single, there's a close to identical shot like the alternate.

fairyland

Spoiler:

HEAVEN

Spoiler:

Apparently the original HEAVEN covers weren't shot in B&W.

Bold & Delicious/Pride

Spoiler:

Startin'/Born to be...

Spoiler:

I thought her facial expression looked familiar. This shot was used for the booklet.

BLUE BIRD

Spoiler:

Alternate cover is from the single booklet.

glitter/fated

Spoiler:

talkin' 2 myself

Spoiler:

Mirrorcle World

The photo book is pretty cool and I loved the idea, but I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed about the croppings and booklet pictures. I thought it was gonna be all never before seen pictures. Did pictures from the photo shoots disappear since they had to just crop the same covers or what?

I mean, it's pretty disappointing that vogue, Daybreak, Free & Easy, forgiveness and INSPIRE are all the same pictures as the original covers. Maybe I was expecting too much. I love the rest of the photo book though.

What do you think?
