    Much like the vinyl edition, the cassette release of P.I.L.'s 2nd album has a different track listing that was later altered on later releases. However, this release in 100% unique and has never been done since. Essentially it goes like this (compared to the Metal Box releases):

    Vinyl 1, side 1
    Vinyl 2, side 2
    Vinyl 2, side 1
    Vinyl 1, side 2
    Vinyl 3, side 1
    Vinyl 3, side 2

    I'm going to assume this was either done to make sure even out each tapes side in length or was a total mistake and was just corrected when the album was re-released as "Second Edition".
