additional information
The booklet is a stripped down version of the standard booklet. It retains the album's credits and Jim's introduction, but the lyrics and extra artwork are all missing.

It has the same format and catalogue numbers of the Polish edition. The only difference is a slight change to the cover artwork (with "Malaysian Edition" printed around the white border), "Manufactured And Printed in Malaysia" on the CD label and a green Universal Ringtone insert.

Many thanks to Alberto for the information.
