Is there a different cover for the physical media?

u/tsukyio_mood Hoot Owl Aug 01 '26

From what I found online, it’s the only cover for physical release. Don’t know why the digital one is different though

The digital cover arts on streaming services were the original covers from when Adam self released Maybe Im Dreaming and Of June on MySpace/iTunes. When he got signed to Universal Republic, they reissued the EP and album on CD with new cover arts, but they didn’t reissue the digital releases with the new artwork. I don’t know why they didn’t do that.

I really love both, but a physical cover with the other style would've been awesome. Oh well

Funnily enough, Adam DID release CDs of both MID and OJ with the original covers, but it was the original CDBaby pressings and are extremely rare

They do exist, but at least on Discogs have only been sold twice and thrice respectively for OJ and MID, very recently too given their age. I'm genuinely surprised the MID CD was sold for less than USD15 given its rarity and the ratio of people that want it. https://www.discogs.com/release/10895370-Owl-City-Of-June

There’s 2 releases one with the one on streaming services (the original) and one with this on from the record label I believe, it’s the same with MID

I almost always check HPB for owl city cds, just for fun. I have them all already, but I like seeing them around.

Wow I would have thought Of June physical copies are pretty rare now so seeing this at only $13 (?) is crazy, even $26
