The BFW 44303 version has the PE name in Yellow, instead of Black. Yellow is used in non-US released versions. Apparently all US version have the PE title in Black. Can someone verify? Thanks.

My us version has the PE logo in black. Also, the entire silver side is instrumental rock and roll. There is zeRo lyrics or beats. The black side however, plays the song listing correctly?
