Comments:
The first pressing of this album was, I believe, the very first Larry
Norman title released on CD, and had the infamous blue
disc. There are at least two other disc art versions - this
one and another silver disc version that has red dots all around
instead of black. Both the blue disc and red dot disc versions
have the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" logo, the SRD 030 catalog number,
a few lines of red text in the title and in the Solid Rock logo, and
say "Volume One" below the year range in the title, which leads me to
conclude that this is the third pressing and the red dot disc edition
is the 2nd pressing. This first version release of White Blossoms From Black Roots is
different than the 1997 version, which has different cover and disc art
and a slightly different song listing, including only 12 of these 16
songs, two versions of "Soul On Fire", and what appears to be a whole
bunch of different mixes (though I'm not sure if they are all different
from this release). The booklet of the 1997 version is also
completely different, which is why it is listed as a separate release
in my discography listings and not a reissue/rerelease.
