NOTE
- This bootleg-CD has surfaced in basically two versions, one of which could be a fake or a later reissue,
- but these two version could also be due to the different countries of either their origin or their target.
- These versions differ mainly in colour and regarding the jewel case, see in particular the pictures below.
- The first one is clearly made in black and gold, i.e. golden print on a black background, possibly referring
- to the Heartland lyrics' line Paint my name in black and gold ...
- The coverart of the second version is identical, but comes with a golden print
- on dark blueish/violett background.
- There is also a difference in the accompanying discs - one comes with a Germann GEMA mark,
- the other one has only the standard Digital Compact Disc mark.
