Notes
"Limited edition of 1000 orange vinyl"
Vinyl is orange. Plastic pouch is translucent orange but does not use the button/clasp seen on the green pouch from the 2017 re-issue. Instead, the flap is folded down into the pouch. Sleeve is white and grey with black text. Inner sleeve is black with white text and monochrome photos, with download code sticker on bottom of inner sleeve. Includes full-size insert promoting other recent ACR releases. While the sleeve and vinyl use the correct title for "I Fail", downloaded MP3/FLAC files incorrectly title it as "I Feel", which has been a common mistake over the years for several pressings of this release.

One key difference is that A Certain Ratio has a more pronounced funk influence, which makes their music more danceable. Another difference is that Topping's lyrics, more abstract and even humorous albeit in a dark, quirky way are less dramatic than Curtis'. The Graveyard and the Ballroom, compiled from a collection of early four-track recordings and a set of live tracks, shows off A Certain Ratio's strengths well.
