Japan LP edition contained an insert with notes by AMS (also translated into Japanese by Kishi Yamamoto) and lyrics in English. The NzLP is similar to the Statik issue, with just the addition of a small RTC logo under the Statik / On.U one and "Marketed by RTC PO Box 3825, Auckland". Its label is a variation of the UKLP design, but is pale blue, rather than yellow, and has all the credits in a white box. Master Recordings CD reissue contains a CD-ROM track with On-U Sound discography and biographic information. The JpCD came with a fold-out insert of sleeve notes (in Japanese).
