Re-releases

The most recent re-issue (2002/2003 by Virgin Records) incorrectly renders the album's title as Reel to Real Cacophony, and the opening track as "Reel to Real". The new spelling also appears in the discography section of all the inlays in the 2002/2003 Simple Minds remastered edition series.
