My copy of this ("Manufactured in Germany" on back), has French language type on both labels, at bottom. Matches all other data. Also does NOT include "Nobody's Fault": not listed on the back, not on the label, and does not appear on this pressing.

This album was available also without sticker. The inner sleeve is printed both sides.
