For The *Wild* At Heart! 
2009-09-26 - This is the UK Limited Tour Edition [Double Disc] featuring the album PCD on the first disc and some bonus extras on the second. This is recommended for Adults since it contains some explicit lyrics or for the die-hard fan, collector, or wild party person who doesn't freak out over explicit content or some text alerts at the end. The first disc is the album version that you can read on my UK PCD review here: PCD. Since many already own the regular version I will go into detail of the bonus disc. Enjoy!!!!!
The bonus disc begins eloquently with track one:
(1) "Sway" has the marimba Spanish styles bringing back the days of hand-to-hand dancing. The style has a nice classy melody mentioning the sound of violins, along fabulous vocals by many of the dolls. Not quite the typical American styles but more along the lines of a mix of cultures. This song is available with lyrics on the Japan Import PCD.
Next you have a more upbeat track:
(2) "Flirt" has the highly energetic beats, super fast vocals, and quite challenging lyrics. The theme of the song is definitely worth listening to because while men think women are sometimes trashy or a certain way for the way they dress the truth is not quite that. The song mentions, "You always think the worst, I just want to flirt." This is also available in the Japanese Import with lyrics.
Ironically, the next track simmers down to a ballad,
(3) "STICKWITU" [Avant Mix] is similar to the original however there are slight variations with Avant's touch. Unless you buy the single you won't be able to hear it along the others tracks on the regular releases. Tis is a very soft ballad, filled with emotion, love, and much desire to stick with that special someone that has that *sparkle*, touch, and chemistry another can't dare reach. This was a truly astonishing production worth taking notes and worth listening to but strange that it was put on the third spot since the pace is rather slow not quite for the next.
The pace totally picks up with Snoop Dogg:
(4) "Buttons" featuring Snoop Dogg is one of my favorites since I enjoy listening to Snoop Dogg and hip-hop/R&B jams. Again, you have the catchy beats, sexy dance styles, and fast pace. The background has Middle-Eastern hints combined with Nicole's vocals creating a very addictive, sticky, infectious groove. It makes the lyrics stand-out by making the listener feel at ease, loose, and relaxed. While the meaning may seem controversial it really depends on what you spin on it. Snoop Dogg definitely enhances the song considerably by giving it more R&B, hip-hop blends with tight rhymes. This is available in the "Buttons" CD single along the non-album track titled, "Flirt".
The next song is over the top explicit and is NOT on the Japanese Version. The Malaysian Version is also toned down.
(5) "Don't Cha" (More Booty) Featuring Busta Rhymes takes a wild raunchy style singing with explicit content. Some may not take it too seriously but others may find it shocking to a degree.. The song replaces "... in the back of my mind you know you should be on with me" to "... in the back of my mind you know you should be f*****g with me."
Now you have a totally fabulous cover song that is smashing:
(6) "Hot Stuff (I Want You Back) Remix" has a very dance oriented direction, excellent deep vocals and electronic hints. This is the cover song of Donna Summer. I would have put this track earlier perhaps on the third. The beats have variety, DJ spins and much elevating dance swirls. Although similar to the original there is some hints of a remix that are quite enjoyable. The Japan Import does not have this. Instead, it has the Live Version. The 2 Beep CD singles have this remix + the live version on one of them.
Next you get ring tones, voicemail id, and text alert: [There is a slight pause delay before you hear them]
(7) He Always Answers [Ring Back Tone] ~ This is for a guy's ring tone or at least I think.
(8) Vibrate Off The Table [Ring Tone] ~ a funky fast tone.
(9) Freaky Fun [Voicemail ID] ~ This was rather cute but not everyone is named Nicole.
(10) PCD [text alert] ~ A very fast alert very fun!
Overall, you get the regular album songs, no lyrics, a bonus disc with 6 songs and these 4 extras. The artwork is the same. The picture you are looking at from Amazon's product page is the cardboard that slides on top of the regular jewel case. This is a great Limited Edition for the die-hard fan, wild at heart individual or the fun music listener not too annoyed for some drawbacks. The Japanese edition is sold out but if you sing up for it they will bring it back. That has more tracks on the first disc and no explicit content. This was an excellent release that I play non-stop even after years and years. Be sure to buy it before it sells out. The Pussycat Dolls are creating quite a storm of new fans, and collector's so this is by far a grand choice!
First album of PCD!!! 
2009-07-08 - This is a first album of PCD in special edition!!! I'd like all songs especially "Stickwitu", "How many times, how many lies", "Sway" and "Flirt", but I'm little disappointed for the last tracks of bonus disc...they are many pieces of various songs of PCD in the disc 1 yet! What does this mean? I don't know...
PCD is fun, dance heavy
2009-02-19 - I really enjoyed this first cd from the Pussycat Dolls. I think my fave tracks were Don't cha, Wait A Minute, Buttons,How Many Times/How Many Lies and Feelin Good. I was really surprised by the latter two because it really showcases Nicole Scherzinger's vocal talents. She is highly underrated as a singer (Just check her older stuff from Eden's Crush and You Tube). I know it was the wrong time for her solo cd before, so I hope its better promoted when it comes out this year. The other girls are just as talented (pick up Doll Domination Deluxe). Otherwise, I was pleasantly surprised.
I liked the extra cd, but not for the price.
2008-11-20 - The extra songs were nice to have, most of them were the music video versions of two songs on the original cd,l and the other two songs were new. One of them I know of has a music video. Then then end of the cd has ringtones for your cell phones, messages for your answering machines, and massages for your texts. Those were kind of a waste to me. I think the almost 30 dollars was steep for this, so if you have the original, then I'd just go to a music hosting place like Itunes and download the other songs. I think its a great cd pack, but not for the price.
