The US release hit the market on the same day as the UK version and for once the packaging is as outstanding as its counterpart. Tracklist has been slightly modified as "Monosylabik" is the final track.

This rare misprint has "(BACK COVER)" printed on back sleeve (slide 3) and was most probably quickly replaced with the version below.

It seems legit to imagine that the revised version was released on the same day as the above, given the number of persons who have it.

It took 16 years to finally see the first reissue of the album and an effort was made to keep the packaging as great as the original. The tracklisting is identical to the 2002 UK version

Some of the earliest promo copies sometimes list "Six Days" for "The 6 Day War", it's in fact a Colonel Bagshot's track sampled to make the song.

​

Note the black ink that was stamped on sticker, a US version exists but blue ink was used instead.

This special edition was released within a digisleeve with an alertnative design compared to the standard one.

The album has "Giving Up The Ghost (Original Version)" as a bonus track, but it also comes with a 2nd CD: "Pushin' Buttons Live", recorded at The Root Down (12/27/01).

A similar release was produced for the US market.

Similar to the UK version but with blue ink stamped on sticker instead. The CD looks completely different though, and a thick white cardboard insert was slipped in case.

​

Similar to the UK 2CD limited edition. Notice the "(BACK COVER)" print on back sleeve. It's unclear if there was a rerun to the correct the mistake like with the US LP had.
