European pressings of the album misprinted the title of the track "All Wrapped Up" as "All Rapped Up".[3]

It was reissued in the US on CD in 2005 by Collectors' Choice Music. This release reverted to the original vinyl track listing and omitted any additional tracks. The booklet also removed the printed credits and lyrics and replaced them with a new essay by Peter Relic. It also repeated the artwork mistake made to the track listing that initially appeared on the European pressings of the original LP and made an additional one (*).

Notes edit

(*) The rear of the 2005 CD reissue again lists "All Wrapped Up" as "All Rapped Up" and additionally "Bus Dis (Wooo)" as "Bus Dis (Wood)."

(**) The original 1987 CD Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang...And Even More lists the track as We Will Rob You and the writer credits Brian May (from the sampled Queen track). The 2005 reissue incorrectly lists the track as We Will Rock You and the writer credit as J. Saddler [sic] (Grandmaster Flash) just like the original vinyl release. Both tracks are identical.
