Of every Thunderdome release there is a Dutch version in a double jewelcase box (or 'big box'). Except for the handful single disc releases, obviously. In contrast, the two German versions come in a slim fliptray box, and have the booklet as front-cover.
On cover, track: 1-5 misses remix addition 1-16 is listed as Mutoïd - The Necronomicon 1-19 is listed as Thunderdome 8 Megamix - Busy Action Mix Featuring 3 Steps Ahead & Lady Jay 2-2 starts in the last five seconds of track 2-01 2-10 is listed as DJ Weirdo & DJ Sim - Pump That Stupid Bass 2-15 is credited to DJ and the writing credits are credited to D. Leeflang, but in fact he did not write A1 Fucked In Your Ass... he writes only the B-side from vinyl.

Dutch, German and Spanish versions of this release exist. These are each easy to distinguish, when you follow this information:
- Dutch versions always have the catalog number ending on 63 on all parts of the album: spines, back-cover, discs and booklet. Never is the catno with 65 to be seen. In full; catno is always 9902263 and never 9902265. - Dutch bar-code ends on 022635, German and Spanish versions both have a bar-code ending on 022659. Note that the crucial parts of the catno's, 63 and 65, are repeated in the bar-codes. - German versions always have the catno ending on 65 on all parts of the album. Except for the booklet, every version has 63. - Spanish versions have the catno with 65 only on spines and discs, but not on back-cover, which has 63.
Back-cover is identifiable as either Dutch, German or Spanish by the combination of the bar-code + catno written on it. Discs are identifiable by catno. When Dutch, catno ends with 63, if German or Spanish, it's 65. Unlike the rest, Spanish discs shine. Booklet is identifiable. German: different front than the rest. Spanish: merchandise in different order than the other two (see page 9).
