Notes

There is a sticker on the front jewel case saying "DELUXE EDITION Including bonus DVD featuring 5.1 version of Playing The Angel, Making The Angel documentary, Precious video and exclusive performance of Clean".
DVD contains the entire "Playing The Angel" album in either LPCM Stereo, DTS 5.1 & Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and has a running time of 52:40. DVD tracks 2 to 4 are in LPCM Stereo. All Photos in the Photo Gallery taken by Ben Hillier.
Official release date is Monday the 17th October 2005, but available via Mute Germany on Friday the 14th October 2005.

The booklet mistakenly credits Dave McCracken as the piano player in "I Want It All". However, there is no piano in "I Want It All". He really should be credited for the piano in "The Darkest Star."
