The sides are not named 1 -
4. Instead, both discs have their own catalogue number (S 300 277 / S 300 278) and
the labels on both LPs state Side 1 and Side 2. The sleeve also has a
separate catalogue number (300 279-406).
Track listing is the same as UK
Version 2.
The West
German pressing of the album is unique due to the inclusion of a
different version
of No One Is Innocent. Although the song is the same, it increases
speed in increments throughout the track. This is often referred to as
a mis-pressing of the track, although this has never been confirmed. It
is just as likely that the song was deliberately sped up to detract
from the sensitive nature of the lyrics.
