The limited edition additionally contains the song "Urban Tropical" (original flipside of the "Rock Me Amadeus" single from 1985), which was only available on vinyl before. There is also a DVD with the same name, which is a documentary about Falco's life and career. In the non-European countries the album was released on 2 August 2007.
