Notes. Track listing is the same as UK Version 2.
The Netherlands pressing is closely aligned to the first West German pressing of the album.
The sleeve is identical to the West German pressing and the record also includes the different version of No One Is Innocent which increases speed in increments throughout the track.

Both discs have different catalogue numbers, as does the sleeve. The lettering on the spine is in white.
No track list insert was included.

The difference to the West German releases is the label printing.
The Dutch release has the following unique combination:
The 'Stemra' stamp is without either the additional 'LC 3098' text or 'GEMA' text which appear on the West German pressings in various combinations.
The copyright warnings around the label edges are in both English and German.
The small Virgin symbol is printed on each side near the bottom of the label.
Although the duel copyright warnings and Virgin logo can be found on German pressings, it's the combination above that distinguishes the Netherlands release.

The sides are not named 1 - 4. Instead, both discs have their own catalogue number (Virgin 300 277 / Virgin 300 278) and the labels on both LPs state Side 1 and Side 2.
