Notes:
  • The first 15,000 copies included an extra CD/LP/CAS of live tracks from 1986 NYC Broadway shows. (The cassette version has the original album on side 1 and the bonus and live tracks on side 2).
  • This release was first available at the London Meltdown festival (28-Jun-95) before its official release date of 25-July.
  • The reissue includes a number of minor faults in the tracks "Poisoned Rose", "I'll Wear It Proudly" and "Jack Of All Parades". The 10 seconds of silence after the last track of the regular album, "Sleep Of The Just", is also missing.
  • The gold disc version sounds a little better than the normal reissue but is otherwise identical (including above mentioned the minor faults).
  • The 2xCD version was also be packaged together with the 2xCD version of Blood & Chocolate (re-release) as a special limited edition promo 4xCD pack.
