The cover of this version is slightly redesigned so that the title is not superimposed over the "Confusion Is Sex" title, as on the original release.
Unlike the other similar release Kill Yr. Idols, this version has "Made in Germany by Record Partner Hamburg" printed on the label instead of "Hergestellt bei der Teldec Schallplatten GmbH, Hamburg 19, Germany". There is also a sticker on the rear sleeve that shows the EFA distribution number.
