Those copies distributed in France by New Rose came with a pink back sticker that had "New Rose Distribution NR 300" written on it.
The versions of Don't Crash and Funkahdafi on this release (SIDE 8502) differ somewhat from those included on the four-track edition (SIDE 8505) and subsequent re-issues. The mixes are noticeably different, with shorter echoes, delays, and in the case of Don't Crash, different emphasis on vocal tracks and other elements.

Reviews
- Edited 2 years agoI think this is one of the best Front 242 releases, if not the best. Especially Commando Remix, which is a very good Remix of the Command Mix from No Comment album. Completely different track but at least as good as the Mix is. Probably their best work I know. I don't know how they made the feeling into the track that you are living under a war. At the same time it's pleasant to hear those dark beats, very dark bass line, very dark chords, and then thrilling to hear sampled voices "Enemies are watching", "I wanna survive", "This is the warning". One remarkable part of the track is around 2:36 when the dark bass line comes in.The feeling of the track changes suddenly to chaotic, you start to feel like you have to run for your life. Such an insane track and gives me so much goosebumps every time. This is also 100% pure EBM genre at its best.
