Notes

Direct Metal Mastering (DMM).

Characteristics of this pressing:
- cat # (label): C 44303
- cat # (spine): FC 44303
- labels: have both the Def Jam Recordings and Columbia logos and includes the track listing (see images).

Although similar to the other version, this version can be distinguished by silver text printed on both labels, which is absent on the other version.

There is also a very similar version with the catalog number BFW 44303 printed on its labels, which also can be distinguished by the absence of the Columbia logo around the perimeter of its labels and was likely released subsequent to this version. Furthermore, this version can also be distinguished by the black background found on the back cover of the jacket, which on the BFW 44303 version is red.
