    2. The Japanese release has an alternate track ordering plus one extra track. Tracks 1-12 are in the same order as the US release. Tracks 13-16 are in the following order: Speed Kills, Age Of Innocence, With Every Light and Blue Skies Bring Tears.
    3. In deluxe gatefold sleeve. Cover is textured. The LPs rest inside pouches in covers and are sealed towards the middle. Front and back cover are the same as the CD. Track listing is ordered the same as [2]. The 'plates' inside the booklet are ordered differently, with some appearing twice and others that appeared in the CD booklet, not appearing at all. The "excerpt from Glass and the Machines of God" as written in the back of the CD booklet appears in the vinyl on 2 sheets of velum. The writing is in the same font, but some stylistic differences in the writing are present. It also appears that the text of each excerpt is similar, but not identical since the LP's version ends differently than the CDs version. The LPs rest inside
    4. Virtually the same as [3] with the following exceptions. There are some very minor differences in the water stain marks inside the booklet (some extras, others missing). The LPs rest in pouches in the covers, but the pouches are not sealed towards the middle
