Rear of cardboard sleeve for the withdrawn original Dutch issue featured an incorrect
track line-up; listing "Tougher Than The Rest", "Roulette",

damaging the cover), later followed by an entirely new sleeve. Either variant came with
5-inch plastic adapter.

highly controversial and much-criticised release.
