Avril Lavigne "Goodbye Lullaby" Special Edition (Taiwan First Press)


Generally this is the overseas version of the Japan Tour Commemorative Edition, so the content of CD and DVD is identical. The good thing about this Taiwan Edition is that it comes with exclusive slipcase, 4 limited edition postcards, and two chinese translations (lyrics and interview). And also, the price is cheaper than the Japan version.

01. Black Star
02. What The Hell
03. Push
04. Wish You Were Here
05. Smile
06. Stop Standing There
07. I Love You
08. Everybody Hurts
09. Not Enough
10. 4 Real
11. Darlin

However, the DVD is misprinted - with annoying white line on top of some videos, so they made a bunch of new DVDs for buyers to replace by mailing the original disc to their office, and then they will send the new one along with the old one back. I contacted them through facebook and then emailed my details, they decided to send the disc to me without me sending the misprinted disc back. So it's all good, I'm happy with their service and their willingness to send it to Perth. :)
I really enjoy this album, while most of the songs are ballad and mellow. It has many nice songs such as Wish You Were Here, I Love You, Alice (Extended version. The original title named this as a 'hidden track' but it's on the sleeve of every release, so I assume the hidden track is the extended part with new lyrics), Push, What The Hell, Smile, and Everybody Hurts.

The DVD has 67 minutes of visual - the making of the album, live videos, all the music videos except Goodbye, and 2 making of the videos. The slipcase accidentally described the DVD comes with the making of Wish You Were Here but in fact it's for Smile

Overall, 4 out of 5 (songs, DVD, packaging - I like the slipcase and the blue cover).
