まで

The "再95.12.20まで" on the obi (and on the last line at the bottom of the back cover) is not the release date, Itmeans that the regular price is frozen until this date. Which then means that the stores in Japan can't lower the price before that date. It is very common in Japan that the item's price is frozen for a specific time period (6 months, 1 or 2 years is normal options).

It you look at the other date on the back of the cover: [93.11.21 (93.11.21)] this is the release date. The first date is the release date for this specific edition in Japan while the release date in brackets are the first territory release date for the album. In this case this album was first released in Japan on Nov. 21, 1993 and has a price freeze for 2 years.
