machine upon insertion of the disc. The CD was withdrawn and a new version without XCP was issued on 22 November 2005.

UK LP

Another product-related problem for the band was the mis-pressing of the UK vinyl album, which lists on both the label and sleeve the same track listing as the UK CD, but in fact plays the track listing of the US version. The LP was re-pressed and distributed with the same catalogue number. The original issue has a blue starburst sticker on the cover, and the reissue does not.

German re-release

In 2007 the album was re-released to include a remix of the song "Ghostfaced Killer". This version was used as the title track for the German comedy film '.
