There are three known variants of this CD:
The Rock 'N' Roll Era 1961 (US 1987) (opens in a new tab) is the original CD release from 1987. Tracks 10 and 18 are "Shop Around" and "Please Mr. Postman".
The Rock 'N' Roll Era 1961 (US 1992) (opens in a new tab) is a reissue with "RE-1" in the matrix number. Tracks 10 and 18 on the RE-1 reissue are "Shop Around" and "Please Mr. Postman". The RE-1 reissue has the same track listing and art/booklet as the original release, and can only be visually distinguished from the original release by the RE-1 in the matrix number on the CD. The RE-1 reissue features drastically improved sound on nearly all tracks. The RE-1 reissue remained in print until at least 1994, as evidenced by this pressing with a Mould SID Code - The Rock 'N' Roll Era 1961 (US) (opens in a new tab)
The Rock 'N' Roll Era 1961 (US 1993) (opens in a new tab) is a 1993 pressing on the JCI label. Tracks 10 and 18 on the JCI release are "Heart And Soul" and "Apache". The other 20 tracks are digitally identical to the RE-1 reissue. The JCI artwork includes an additional catalog number of JCI-1061 at the bottom of the rear artwork, in the credits on the last page of the booklet, and at the 3-o'clock position on the CD.
