Annotation

There is an alternative version of this release which has tracks 1 and 2 on disc 2 swapped. The existence of both versions is confirmed by the attached discIDs.
However, the back cover as well as discogs, musik-sammler, ... all agree on this track order so the other version might be a misprint.
