They share the same UPC, but there's a pretty big difference, mainly the reason for the recall, being the 9 minute cross dressing documentary that was removed at the request of Tim Burton. The way to distinguish the two is in the spine. The recalled version has a gray spine, white letters, and pink trim. The regular release has a black spine, white letters, and pink trim. The actual deleted feature isn't mentioned on the back of the cover art, either.
I bought both "Ed Wood" and "My Neighbor Totoro" for $30 combined. Ended up selling "Totoro" and that covered the $25 I spent on "Ed Wood", and then some. I'm just storing the DVD. It's sealed, and I just bought it because the opportunity was there. It sells for about as much as the regular release does at retail, now.
