Notes:
-
A Dutch bootleg issue, notable for typographical errors and variations:
-
The copyright info circling the label reads “All sounds o9n this recording…”
-
The text is justified differently on the label.
-
The catalog numbers are machine-stamped into the run-out grooves, whereas the original
had “MPO JAMS LP 1 A” and “MPO JAMS LP 1 B” hand-written in the run-out grooves.
-
Label omits upside-down "sic" text to the right of JAMs logo.
-
Cover omits small apostrophe-like markings above Pyramid Blaster logo on bottom right corner.
-
Circle around Pyramid Blaster logo on cover is thinner than it is on original release.
-
Credits text on bottom cover is in a bolder font than it is on original release.
-
Text on spine is in a bolder font than it is on original release.
-
Spine text is misaligned in respect to JAMs logo on cover. On original release, spine text and JAMs logo on cover are aligned.
-
Track B1 is listed as "Me Ru Con" on the label, while the correct Vietnamese spelling is “Mẹ Ru Con”, with a diacritical mark under the “e”.
-
BPMs are listed with the titles:
A1: 100 BPM
A2: 89 BPM
A3: 105 BPM
B1: 0 BPM

-
Track 3 is labeled as "Ivum Naya (Ibo Version) / Rap, Rhyme And Scratch Yourself / Burn The Bastards / Burn The Beat / Prestwich Prophets Grin / The Porpoise Song" (as though they were additional bonus tracks by The JAMs), but the audio is actually the majority of the live Big Black album 'Sound Of Impact'.
