Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Some copies are gold-stamped "FOR PROMOTION ONLY - Ownership Reserved By CBS - Sale Is Unlawful" on the back of the sleeve and may include a three-page promo packet containing a photocopy of the 21 November 1981 NME review of Tin Drum.
On this album, the song "Ghosts" has a shorter intro, hence it's referred to as the 'alternate version', not the same as the UK single.
Matrices are both etched and stamped.
