Notes

European release contains vastly different versions of "Loveland", "Cake" and "Throw That Beat In The Garbage Can" than the ones found on the US release. These versions are much more raw and electronic.

On this edition, there's no barcode, and there are several defining features are visible on the center labels:
1. German boilerplate copyright warning around top edge, English around bottom edge
2. Does NOT have the ® symbol on Island logo
3. A bass clef symbol is embossed on B side near center hole
4. Only one circular impression from stamper

Virtually identicle to this version: Mesopotamia WITH the ® symbol on Island logo
