I'm not in a place where I can post the cover art here, but the artwork used by the Criterion release is, in fact, the reverse cover art.

Ich bei Tag und du bei Nacht is a great film that I only saw due to trying to complete our forum's All Time eligibility list, I think anyone here would enjoy it a lot!

It looks like there's some overlap with the programme of German Musical Comedies that were shown at Il Cinema Ritrovato in 2022. Glad to see that Ich bei Tag und du bei Nacht is getting a release as I really enjoyed that one, though my favourite of that section was probably Fritz Kortner's So ein Mädel vergisst man nicht.

Has this not already been released? I’m pretty sure I got it in their last sale. Is this a case where there’s been new materials discovered or something along those lines?

Best news so far this year, even though "Ich bei Tag und du bei Nacht" is already out on Blu here in Germany. But "Die Koffer des Herrn O.F." is also a marvellous satirical comedy completely unavailable officially, and just wait till you get to see "Die Privatsekretärin", thought lost for a long time and only recently restored. It's the German original of "Sunshine Susie", and if you have seen that British version, you might imagine what a treat the original is. Easily one of the very greatest of the Weimar sound films.
