B4 is titled 'Amphetamine Logic' on the label but 'Logic' on the sleeve.

The A side contains different mixes compared to the standard European pressing. Notably, Walk Away is the so-called "different mix", and A Rock And A Hard Place has a panning error during the synth bass intro. In addition, No Time To Cry uses a dryer drum mix, and Marian exhibits more reverb on the snare when compared to the European vinyl.
