The Indonesia and Singapore unlicensed cassettes have a unique track listing. The regular 16 tracks are scrambled, and there are two bonus ones: "Pretty Girls Make Graves" and "Reel Around The Fountain" from the debut LP for the Indonesia cassette, and "Girl Afraid" and "Suffer Little Children" for the Singapore one.
Artwork information: Another photo from the same book, this time of 4 girls, was used for the back of the album. The 4 girls look strangely like the Smiths. An untinted version is also found inside the cd booklet. The 'inside photo' which can be viewed from the left bar is taken from the cd booklet. The LP's inner sleeve has a faded version of it on each side.
