Annotation
This is the original version of the album as released in the U.S. and Europe. The main difference is the different track orders. This version was ordered to emphasize the potential singles "The Oath" and "A World Without Heroes", thereby disregarding the narrative.
The 1997 remaster sold in and out of the U.S. restored the intended track order (which was the original international one). See http://www.kissmonster.com/discography/elder.php and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_from_%22The_Elder%22 for more details.
