This edition was pressed in 2002 or later as indicated on the Sonopress label page: ...numbers on CD's pressed from ca. 2002 onwards occur in an 8-digit format of "5xxxxxxx".

Errata: There is a 'written by' credit on track 1 for 'Purrington' in the release notes. This is incorrect as a) the artist is Turrington (Brian) b) he is credited with arrangement on the original song, not co-writing it.
Release credits have David Bowie writing track 2 and publishing info. It is wrongly attributed to track 2, this should obviously be track 11 'Ziggy Stardust'.
Production credit for Bauhaus is release-wide but is in error as this information was not altered after the addition of tracks 11 to 14 to the CD release.
