Notes

Demonstration Not For Sale.

Direct Metal Mastering (DMM).

Issued with lyric sleeve.

This version can be distinguished by the white label background color and the promotional language printed on its labels. However, it is otherwise very similar to the standard version that was released under the same "BFW 44303" catalog number.

This version has the band name "Public Enemy" printed in yellow with a red outline around the letters on a grey background with a green line separating the two stacked words on the front cover. The back cover has a red box for the type instead of a black box.
