The initial and subsequent runs of the Cherry Red CD were pressed using a lossy master source for tracks 1-9, 13 and 14. The corrected version has the reference TC2159 printed on the inner CD ring.[5]

As of 2015, this was still the case, with Cherry Red reported as continuing to send out versions of the CD – now bearing the reference CDMRED304V2, which were sourced from the lossy master, rather than the DAT for tracks 1 to 9, 13 and 14.
