This release comes in a double jewel case with opaque black disc trays and fliptray. It's the Dutch version with the correct booklet. The Dutch version with misprinted/incorrect booklet is to be found under this link:
9902263
Of every Thunderdome release there is a Dutch version in a double jewelcase box (or 'big box'). Except for the handful single disc releases, obviously. In contrast, the two German versions come in a slim fliptray box, and have the booklet as front-cover.
On cover, track:
1-5 misses remix addition
1-16 is listed as "Mutoïd - The Necronomicon"
1-19 is listed as "Thunderdome 8 Megamix - Busy Action Mix Featuring 3 Steps Ahead & Lady Jay"
2-2 starts in the last five seconds of track 2-01
2-10 is listed as "DJ Weirdo & DJ Sim - Pump That Stupid Bass"
2-15 is credited to "DJ" and the writing credits are credited to D. Leeflang, but in fact he did not write A1 Fucked In Your Ass... he writes only the B-side from vinyl.
Track 1-7 is pitched up.
Track 1-14 is slightly different from the version released on Vision 77 - Tango Rules.
Track 1-19 is a short mega mix of Thunderdome VIII - The Devil In Disguise.

Dutch, German and Spanish versions of this release exist. These are each easy to distinguish, when you follow this information:
- Dutch versions always have the catalog number ending on "63" on all parts of the album: spines, back-cover, discs and booklet. Never is the catno with "65" to be seen. In full; catno is always "9902263" and never "9902265".
- Dutch bar-code ends on "022635", German and Spanish versions both have a bar-code ending on "022659". Note that the crucial parts of the catno's, "63" and "65", are repeated in the bar-codes.
- German versions always have the catno ending on "65" on all parts of the album. Except for the booklet, every version has "63".
- Spanish versions have the catno with "65" only on spines and discs, but not on back-cover, which has "63".
Back-cover is identifiable as either Dutch, German or Spanish by the combination of the bar-code + catno written on it.
Discs are identifiable by catno. When Dutch, catno ends with "63", if German or Spanish, it's "65". Unlike the rest, Spanish discs shine.
Booklet is identifiable. German: different front than the rest. Spanish: merchandise in different order than the other two (see page 9).
