The Japanese version has an additional lyric insert (lyrics in English & Japanese). German LP on yellow vinyl.

This started as a rather unremarkable US CD reissue of their debut 7” with two good bonus tracks from the same session (Shirley Maclaine, Taken). Then a much better, tuned up 10-track version was released in Japan and eventually found its way back to the western shores. This version contains the Born Annoying 7”, the two previously mentioned bonus tracks, the track from Ugly American Overkill 7”, B side of Unsung 7”, the track from Smells Like Smoked Sausage comp., B side from In The Meantime 7”, Born Annoying/Primitive 7”. Great compilation if you’re tired of hunting down those 7”s. [9]

Zuerst ein US-Reissue der Single mit zwei guten Bonustracks aus der gleichen Session, dann eine aufgeblasene Japan-Version mit 10 Tracks, die dann später auch in USA und Deutschland veröffentlicht wurde. Neben den beiden Songs der ersten 7” finden sich hier noch zwei Sampler-Tracks, Single-A- und -B-Seiten und die beiden Tracks der Born-Annoying-Session. Nicht nur für Fans eine lohnende Anschaffung.
