Notes: this test pressing was done for the 2022/2023 reissues of this album.

Obviously the CD master was mistakenly used for this initial cut. The fade-over from 'STALKER' to 'RED RIVER CARGO' starts and abruptly ends at the end of side B. Further more there's an error after 'CONTROL FREAK' - at the end of side C you can hear the starting sounds of 'MISSING PIECE' for half a second.

Therefore the cuts for sides B, C and D were rejected for the final release (Alan Wilder himself requested this).
