  • All Canadian releases contain a misspressing with an incorrect song, which is instrumental, that has a time of 3:31.
  • According to Nick Rhodes, who listened to the unknown song in January 2009, this track is not Arcadia and it seems as if a pressing plant error caused an unknown artist to be substituted instead of the instrumental Arcadia track, which does actually exist and appears in its correct form on the US 7-inch release.
