Notes
Limited edition 1st pressing of 50.000 copies with additional items, issued with a unique "cover sheet obi" instead of a traditional obi strip. Additional text in the 2nd yellow section atop the obi portion on left - where "KISS" is printed above the 2nd red band - identifies the extra items included in this 1st pressing. Later issue without that additional text found here: (Music From) The Elder
The left side of the cover sheet has an integrated mock obi strip printed on it indicating the title, price, catalog number etc. as well as indicating it is a limited edition initial first release that comes with 4 special goods:
1. Giant Color Poster
2. Original Sticker
3. Pin Badge
4. Plastic Record Carrying Bag
Also includes a double-sided insert with liner notes and lyrics.
Japanese issue features a different running order than most other worldwide issues, and the track durations shown here are taken from the Japanese insert and differ slightly from those shown on other worldwide issues.
"Escape From The Island" (track B3 on most other worldwide issues) is not included on this release, but was instead included as the B-side of "The Oath" single The Oath and only on the Japanese versions of Killers.
