NOTES:
Japanese issue in regular CD case with white tray, obi strip and two bonus tracks taken from Experimental Remixes (images show two variations of the same edition), there was also another pressing of this release with a different matrix number and part of the Japanese text on the rear printed vertically rather than horizontally. The cover booklet, obi and rear sleeve are all metallic silver and the booklet contains lyrics (in English and Japanese) and biography (in Japanese). The 1994 US release was on picture disc, black vinyl, cassette and CD. The first German edition was issued with an Orange sleeve (vinyl/CD) and later re-released by Matador/Mute with bonus videos or a poster (on vinyl). Bellbottoms was released as a white vinyl 7″ in the UK, Bellbottoms and Flavor were both released as promotional CD singles. Tracks from Orange were also the basis for the Experimental Remixes EP. In 2000 Mute reissued expanded editions of Orange, Experimental Remixes and Extra Width / Mo’ Width. They also issued the Techno Animal Remixes 12″, a promotional sampler CD and video. In 2010 Shout! Factory / Shove! released a deluxe version of Orange with Experimental Remixes and a number of rare, live and previously unreleased tracks.
