This is a reissue from 1989, with "RE-1" in the matrix number, with 25 tracks (adding "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", "Hippy Hippy Shake", and "She's Not There", and reordering the tracks) and the painted lady face cover art. In general, the RE-1 reissue uses significantly better-sounding source tapes that what were used on the original release.
