First editions with green/red Virgin centre labels. Printed inner sleeve with infos.

The centre labels mispell the track title Ilé as I Lé and Kinshasa 'M Boté as Kinschasa 'M Boté. The labels also incorrectly state the duration of track B3 as 1:42, whereas it's actually 7:42.
Artist name appears correctly as Jasper Van 't Hof on cover and inner sleeve, as Jasper Van't Hof on the labels.
