Annotation

IMPORTANT: The actual content of this CD and the track listing on the back of the CD do not match, so do not think that it has been incorrectly entered! This entry contains the actual CD contents and is therefore different from what is listed on the back of the case. As the CD is a re-release of the 1978 version with added ’Interactive Content’, it is my guess that the tracks were slightly re-ordered for the 20th anniversary edition but the same case was used (with a sticker on the front) as was used for the 1978 content.
