Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

There were three different versions released by Columbia of the original album: US, UK and Europe (Netherlands).
On the US version, there is a spoken word segment at the start of "When the War Comes" (by New York DJ Howard Stern). The other two (UK & Netherlands) releases of this album do not contain these spoken words.
On the first (UK) mix, "White Flags" does not end via fade-out.
There are other various discrepancies between the album and single releases due to the various mixes (there are noticeable variations in "White Flags", "Make Rock Not War", "Spy In The House Of The Night", "When The War Comes", "The Shadow Warrior", and "Madness To The Method").
The song "Shadow Warrior" was originally called "I'm A Rebel" (with different lyrics), and written (but not used) for the 1984 film, *Teachers*.
