Some copies are gold-stamped "For Promotion Only" on back of the sleeve, which may include a three-page promo packet, which includes 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 the 'alternate version', not the same as the UK single.
