additional information
The SACD version of Once Upon A Time was prepared using the stereo remaster. Therefore there's little difference between the SACD mix and that of the remaster.

The packaging is based on the mini-vinyl artwork of the limited edition remaster. The credit and album information on the sleeve is in many cases too difficult to read.
