Notes
Number 9 in the Island 50th Anniversary SHM-CD Paper Jacket Collection made in Japan for the Japanese market, which is itself a part of the Island 50th Anniversary Series (hence two series). Includes 6 extra tracks for this release.Mini-LP replication of original release with: cover; obi; inserts; label reproduction sheet with copy number; and two booklets - one in English, one in Japanese. Booklets contain lyrics and excerpt of essay (also translated into Japanese) by Daryl Easlea.
Running time for Tracks 12 to 17 is not provided anywhere on the release.
Writing credits differ for Track 13 on different areas of the release : label reproduction insert and both booklets' lyrics section credit Ron Mael only, whereas publishing/writing credits presented on page 19 in the English-language booklet indicate both Ron and Russell Mael as writers which is incorrect.
