Notes:

This differs from another similar release in terms of the sleeve artwork: on the rear of the outer sleeve, this release lacks the DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) logo in the lower left corner, and text between the catalog no. and the barcode. Includes a printed inner sleeve with lyrics on one side and an image of the horse's head from the cover on the other. Track A4 is mistitled "Free Falling Divivsions" on the label. In the side B runout matrix no., the "D" is backwards relative to the other characters. In the side B matrix / runout, variant 3, the "D" is spilled on the vertical axis. In the Side A Matrix / Runout Variant 4, the "D" is backwards relative to the other characters.
