      this is different from the US-version in that ...
      - it has more songs on it (more than the US one), more = better. get it? and the Blues Explosion never did a bad song
      - there are some different versions of songs from the US one (I think these are versions that appear on "Reverse Willie Horton" though not all of "Reverse" is on this CD)
      - the japanese version's songs are in an order much more conductive to rock than the domestic version
      - the japanese version has a wacky photo thing on the inside with art similar to the Clawfist 7"
      - the japanese version has what probably is a japanese lyric sheet
