About this release
Released by Virgin Records, April 18th, 1996.
Remastered version released June 15th 2007 with three bonus tracks and the music videos for Mr. Sandman and The Bard's Song.
The remastered version also saw a second run via Century Media Records in 2009, with at least some copies suffering from a mistake which resulted in the liner notes being a mix of the correct ones and some for the band Powerwolf. This version also omits the bonus video content.
