Bemerkungen

• Take Me Down was written by James Iha.
• Farewell and Goodnight features vocals by all 4 members.
• The CDs are separately titled: Dawn to Dusk and Twilight to Starlight. The LP re-arranges the song order, adds two songs (one exclusive to this edition) and names the six sides Dawn, Tea Time, Dusk, Twilight, Midnight and Starlight.
• The track Infinite Sadness is actually an unused Siamese Dream-era track, and was produced by Butch Vig.
• Some copies sold in France were bundled with the Live In Chicago 5-song CD. See the promo section for more details.
• The 3LP version of MCIS was originally solicited in February of 1996 as a limited-to-5000, numbered edition. When it was finally released in April, it was allegedly limited to 15,000. Since that time, numbers above 18,000 have been confirmed, leaving open the question of how many copies were actually pressed.
• In late 1998, the MCIS 3LP was repressed. The new pressing is unnumbered (leaving the number box empty), and the sleeve is made of flimsier material.
• The US version of the CD has two booklets (one with pictures, one with lyrics) with a total of 30 pages, the UK CD and 3LP both have a single book with 12 pages.
• The Japanese version comes in a white double jewel case with the same two booklets as the US version as well as a Japanese lyric sheet and 4 pages of Japanese writings by Mr. Midori Tsukagoshi, dated September 1995.
• The CD version sold in Europe is manufactured in Holland because it allows the price to be kept in line with the US release (approximately US$20).
