The booklet and liner notes are the same.
The disc was upgraded to include a Monkee computer screensaver.
Curiously it doesn't mention the screen saver anywhere in or on the tin case/booklet.
Only on a sticker on the front. If you buy one opened you would never even know it was there.
There were 'only' 20,000 made according to this barely readable ad:
