Notes: (about Two of Four)
On the sleeve "Complicated Shadows" is listed as the Cashbox Version, the demo version was included on the German version of this release, not on the UK limited edition. This German release contains correct Cashbox Version of "Complicated Shadows". Here are a few tips to help distinguish this release from the UK version:
The packaging of both versions is VERY similar. The only difference on the sleeve are the characters LC 0392 WE C795 which are printed in small black letters on the back, under the listing of the track "Complicated Shadows", and to the right of 'Licensed by GEMA'. Other than this the sleeves are identical. Don't be mislead by the 'Made in Germany' text at the very bottom of the sleeve on the back - both versions say this.
If you are able to examine the CD itself then there are a couple of differences here. Most noticable is that the yellow & blue picture on the CD goes right up to the centre hole on the UK version, while on the German copy the centre piece of plastic (about 1 1/2" in diameter) is clear. This is slightly confusing because the other 3 UK maxis in the set have this clear centre piece as well. The UK CD is pressed by DISCTRONICS, and has this printed around the inner ring on the silver side of the disc. The German version has WME & IPPI instead. See
