- CD printed with image of the cover instead of original LP label.
- Catalog no. misprinted on OBI-strip as MHCP 1062.
- Title also misprinted on CD print: "SECRET MESSAGE".
- Back cover lacks a note originally printed on: "WARNING: CONTAINS SECRET BACKWARD MESSAGES".
- No codebar nor manufacturer logo nor SID code on CD matrix.
