Notes

The booklet mistakenly credits Dave McCracken as the piano player in "I Want It All". However, there is no piano in "I Want It All". He really should be credited for the piano in "The Darkest Star."

Initially came with a hype sticker on the cellophane wrapping which mentions official ringtones that were available on their website in
conjunction with this release.

Came in a standard jewel case with clear disc tray.

Some copies were issued with golden promo stamps on front covers:
"For promotional use only. Sale or other transfer is prohibited. Must be returned on demand of recording company."

Here is a very similar west coast pressing variant:
1) Pressed by Cinram, Commerce, CA
