Is it safe to assume that the 11th track on the Japanese CD is one of the two "bonus" cuts which appear on the 12 track version? Or did the Japanese fans get something unique?

The Japanese got Shameless (Pilooski Remix) as a Bonus (their word not mine) track.

Great montage. It would be lovely if our mentor could sign off 100 of those for us all on quality glossy paper! I'd buy 2.

The gatefold with the vinyl in the upper part of the picture is familiar stuff to me, plus the text sheet at the lower left, which were a part of it too.

This is the Gatefold Sleeve LP
The left insert has the Richard Williams essay on one side and Michael Bracewell one on the other.
The front insert is the record inner sleeve with the lyrics and credits
The print on the right is an insert with the cover shot on it without the typography.

The Tawan double disc was the same as the UK CD/DVD version with the exception of the Obi added to it.

The various packagings of Olympia are visually quite engaging. I just wish I didn't find the music in Olympia to be so unengaging. Sigh. Recently I popped Mamouna into my cd player and I found it to be very enjoyable - I actually listened to it several times over the course of a couple of days. I must admit that no multiple plays of Olympia are likely in the near future. So it goes... But the packaging is nice!!!

Yes, Mamouna! The Masterpiece, Ferry at his best, such a Ferry-esque gem.
A commercial disaster and not an No.1 Album hit it should have been - was
it down to the horse on the cover? Kate Moss came too late perhaps.
