Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

This version:
• Programmed as a single 18:35 track: timing read from disk. (Timings for Parts I, II, III, IV and V as they appear on later versions.)
• The Acuarela address on the back of the gatefold digicard sleeve is centered and set in the same white typeface as the credits.
• There are two barcodes on this release, one presumably for the European market and the other for exporting to North America.
• Infodisc matrix string with 040114###N date-code (14 January 2004).
