Marketing BJD: the OST ,[object Object],[object Object]

You can see here (clockwise from top left) the UK, French, US and German OST CD covers. The European covers are basically the same. Interstingly, the US version doesn’t include any artist details, presumably concluding that there are too many UK artists which the US audience won’t know

This isn’t an issue for a UK audience used to American acts – though maybe not country singer Shelby Lyne whose tracks are here primarily for the US audience
