Too bad this was a mispressing and not the official release, because this one is much better. The tracklist makes more sense, and there are better versions of some songs. "Divinity", "Egghead", and "Guru song" are a bit longer, while "Elysian feels" and "Mello hippo" here are what would become the "Abbey Road versions" from "The Otherness". Of course worth mentioning is the SIGNIFICANTLY better version of "The galaxial pharmaceutical", which is laid out differently. Some sections of the song are not in "official" version, some sections are longer, and it's presented as one continuous song, unlike the "official" version that is pretty much separated into two parts.
"The galaxial pharmaceutical" itself would be worth it for fans of these guys who don't yet have this version of the album.

...also this version is mastered louder, which is nicer but doesn't make the biggest difference.
