[edit] Rare copies

The first 50,000 copies of the album were printed with an error in the booklet. The lyrics for 'Don't Make Me Sad' were printed twice however, there are no lyrics printed for 'Won't Go Away' in these albums. Also, in these copies, the word "Connor", written either in the title of the song or in the lyrics itself is spelled with only one "n" as "Conor". However on the back of some copies, it is spelled as "Connor," while as "Conor" on others.^[5]
