"Ok, my friend bought this disc from Amazon.com, I don't know where the previous reviewer got his copy.It contains pretty much the same bonus tracks as the Australian release, except for two tracks. 1) It contains the great, mellow mix of "The Heart's Filthy Lesson" - it's called the "Rubber Mix" 2) Get Real, this track can only be found in two places, on this edition of 1.outside and as a b side to "Strangers When We Meet" It also contains a full lyrics sheet and a mini poster. A rather nice cd, although a bit over priced.If you are a insane collector, like myself get this; but if you don't feel the need to get Get Real or The Heart's Filthy Lesson (rubber mix), just pick up the Australian release, it is a lot cheaper and has most of the same bonus tracks - the two exclusives on the JAP release are replaced by an edit of Strangers When We Meet and the album version of THFL.But if the bonus tracks don't impress you at all... just buy the domestic release, it is one of David's best in my opinion"

The stars aren't for what you think...

"The album itself is excellent. However, if this is the same version of the disc that I have, the only 'extra' here is the Japanese characters in the artwork and the inclusion of a lyric sheet. The edition I have doesn't have extra tracks. You can pull the lyrics off of the 'net. This edition is an utter waste of money. Do buy the original, though-it's one of Dave's best records, hands down.. I do want to qualify here that I could be wrong because this entry doesn't include track listings-it's possible there's an extra cut or two on it, but on my Japanese edition, there wasn't anything extra. Just the lyrics..."
