China, JCD-4598 v.5

Notes:

- Scans and detailed info by ChesterTAKA.

- This is the fifth Chinese version of the Hybrid Theory Special Edition. It does not have the standard anti-counterfeit sticker, but has a a golden Jingwen sticker, which was introduced in 2007 instead. According to some collector circles, this golden sticker was specifically intended for collector editions.

- Note that a change in sticlers does not automatically mean a complete reissue. These stickers may simply have been applied during different distribution runs. However, distinct versions do have different SID codes, with a few notable exceptions:
• Versions 1 & 2: These share identical mastering codes, but the first press features a unique disc printing method and font style, different to the second version.
• Post-version 2 pressings: The printing methods and typography remain largely identical across later runs, with minor color differences (most likely due to different ink batches during production).
• Version 5: The font on this specific disc printing is noticeably bolder.

- Info on the slipcase says:
"Bonus:"
"3 Live Tracks"
"2 B-side tracks"

- There are currently six known versions of Jingwen’s Hybrid Theory (Special Edition). Based on the style of the anti-counterfeit stickers, they can be arranged chronologically as follows:
• Version 1: small anti-counterfeit sticker.
• Version 2: large anti-counterfeit sticker.
• Version 3: large anti-counterfeit sticker + blue Jingwen sticker.
• Version 4: large anti-counterfeit sticker + red Jingwen sticker.
• Version 5: gold Jingwen sticker
