    The "bop bag" industry must be secretly flourishing to warrant such a giant selection of these things!Here we have yet ANOTHER Sonic theme punching bag bopper. Available in the USA from...somewhere you can find these on Ebay. This one is about 4 ft. high, and weighted at the bottom.

Here is a disc of music produced by "Arcade Records" and released in Europe. It uses Game Gear art of Sonic on a spring for the cover. The yellow starburst says "Includes CD ROM part: Sonic Video & Comix Zone Game", so, this has more than just music on it. Comix Zone was a well regarded game that was unusual for it's time, so it's possible that Sega EU wanted to push/promote it and so included it even though it's non-Sonic. There are 2 languages on the case...
But why? It's mostly in English, but the red writing at the bottom of the back is in German somehow. The case interior is very similar to the case back art but if you look carefully at 'drink holding Sonic' stock art you can see he has the rare and unusual "light blue eyelids" treatment, which is interesting to see. The disk itself is pretty plain, just blue with yellow and the classic logo.

The track listing is
1. They Call Me Sonic
2. Sonic Metropolis Trance Zone
3. Sonic Electronic
4. Sonic's Brain Scrap House
5. King of The Ring Extended
6. Rave Sonic Wing Fortress Rave Zone
7. Entering Death Egg Zone
8. Sonic & Tails
9. They Call Me Sonic Extended
10. King of The Ring Radio Zone
11. Final Zone
The other items are the Video, the Comix Zone and a CD player software so you could use it if you didn't already have it. (Remember, this is the earlier days of PCs.)
As with the They Call Me Sonic above the credit is interesting because it claims
"Music & Lyrics by Emerald Hill, Spike Shellcracker & Oscar Oberheim, and the tracks were produced by Sonic Survival Team, Akropolis Musikverlag & edition Magic Wonderland. Clearly a few of these are made up specifically to credit in here (yes badnick) and never seem to went on to do anything else.
