Track Variations

The US versions of the album all feature an edited version of the title track which clocks in at 4:46.

Additional Information

The inner sleeves of the UK pressings only featured a small 'book logo' at the top of the sleeve. Hard core completists can search for the two different coloured inner sleeves - gold for the first pressings and purple for the later ones.

The rest of the world was treated to all the lyrics and track information on the inner sleeve.

Two special limited editions were also produced. In the US, a "marbled" picture disk known as 'purple splashed gold' was available (A&M SP 06-4928), whilst in Canada a yellow vinyl version of the album was pressed (Virgin VL 2247).

The UK CD issue featured extra pictures and graphics in the booklet - the cover was interesting as all the yellow hues were replaced by white.
