Other Info:
Info for track #3 (position, title, duration) is printed in red on the inlay (rear) whereas all other track info for the other tracks is printed in black. The reason for this is unknown.

The spacing in the cat# between '2' and '53080-2' is unusually wide on the release with the exception of the CD itself, where it has the normal 'white space' spacing. Also here the reason is unknown. The vinyl LP of this release refers to the CD cat# as 253 080-2 which is again a different spacing as given on the CD.

The booklet has eight pages, pages 2 to 7 are numbered.
