This edition by Contempo (as well as the German Jungle one) has probably the best sound of all versions released so far. Although the remasters released by Cleopatra and Candlelight are loud and clear, they have several flaws (both releases clip some final seconds of "Awake at the Wall" and two tracks are shifted in the Candlelight release - "This Glass House" is before "Cervix Couch"). Lyrics for "The Blue Hour" are incomplete in the CD booklet.
