    Hi. I own the version (Variant 2): DADC Austria IFPI L553 A0000175666-0101 33 A2 (but with IFPI 94B3).
    The booklet is misprinted, half of the pages are not printed and all the pages (excluded the cover ones) are printed twice. So I miss more than half the lyrics. Is this a common issue for this version or do I own a particularly unlucky copy?
