Original edition is a 1 disc version in an about standard case.

Limited edition is a 1 disc version packaged in a pillow pack, plastic box where you get visually nice cards explaining Sasha's thoughts about each track. The box itself isn't truly user friendly in the long run.

Special edition is a 2 disc version in an highly annoying sort of a digipak kind of packaging with selected and unmixed Sasha remixes from 1992-2003 on the bonus disc, with the exception that the remix of Gus Gus - Purple is edited to about 5:50.

*EDIT* Jason was faster.

I'd get the special edition since it's only a few bucks more. I have the limited edition and it's nice, but doesn't fit onto my CD rack very well.

If I were you, I'd get the 2 disc one since you're not familiar with some of his older stuff. I'd have gotten it myself, but it didn't release until months later and I bought the pillow pack the day it originally released because Sasha was spinning and doing a signing at the Virgin Megastore on release day.

Okay, thanks for the info guys. I might just pay a little more for the speacial edition as there's only a few bucks difference, plus it sounds good.

I thought Limited Editions are called that way because there are Limited CDs of them available in the market.

So does that mean Sasha's Limited Edition hasnt sold out yet? Or he made it unlimited.

Nowadays labeling a release with "Limited Edition" tag just seems to be more of an attempt to boost the sales and not all of the CDs like that are actually THAT limitedly available. Involver's Limited Edition may have been released fewer numbers than the standard edition but i've still seen it in stock in several stores recently.
