** For the longest time, obtaining the album on vinyl was particularly difficult for fans of the format, as the only official LP release was a single print run in Brazil. Even after the Vinyl Revival took hold in 2007, when the album was reissued on CD for the first time since 1995, no other LP releases occurred until 2021, when the album was included as part of the ''Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001)'' BoxedSet.
