You mean the booklet yellowed or the casing?

Mine was second hand from Dora's store and I've had it for about a year but it's not discoloured or anything. Is it possible it's been exposed to too much sunlight or moisture? Heat from the sun could lead to some ageing of the plastic if it was very hot and was over a few days in a row...it's happened with other non-Ayu albums I had!

From my own personal experiences, if it is not exposed to too much sunlight it may be due to the quality of the paper... my Singapore press of Namie Amuro's PLAY became yellow within a few months, but when I went to Japan and bought the album until now it is still as white as ever. Same goes for your case I guess

EDIT: My SG Press of A BEST 2 -WHITE- has also yellowed slightly but my Japan press like I've mentioned is still as white as ever.

Mine is still WHITE.

The theory about the paper's quality is probably true since I have japan's version...

It's not A BEST 2 -YELLOW- xD

I don't own that album, but in my experience, it has usually been sun damage that turns the boxes, and sometimes a certain type of printed paper, a sort of yellow colour.

Mine is still 100% white, Japanese press.

What kind of press do you have, if I may ask? And have you exposed it to conditions such as sunlight or heat?

the paper quality matters too.

what version is your copy?

i notice that my Singapore press's the booklet tend to turn a color for a certain period, but my JP versions' booklets are still perfect, even those 2nd hand discs that i bought, which were release like 1999/2000, they are still in their original color

It depends if the CD has been left in sunlight or a really bright room.

AVT's HK press , Chloe

Taiwan press starts with AVJ for the catalogue no.

you should check who manufacture it , avex asia (HK) or Warner Music S'pore or Malaysia

for my copy , it's S'pore press but Warner S'pore used the same catalogue no. as HK press

& oh over the colouring of your album , yes my SG presses of avex artistes's material also turned yellow after a while

that didn't happened for SG presses of Sony BMG's material that I have though
