On the CD version, there is vinyl crack sound at the end of track 10 and the beginning of track 11 - the background story is this: the original master tape for "Only Relief" could not be found, so TAM had to use a vinyl record, and while having it digitally transferred, they decided to keep some of the vinyl noise for nostalgic reasons. They then decided to keep the vinyl noise going for a short while after the song had ended and into the beginning of the final track "Japanese Letters - this was entirely an added "art effect" as that track was mastered from an old tape and contained no vinyl noise.
