I have what I think is a misprint of this album. Side A runs as listed here, but Side B has the US mixes identical to the ones found on this record: http://www.discogs.com/B-52s-Mesopotamia/release/76787 Interestingly the matrix/runout on my record is identical to the one listed here on Side A: ISSP 4005 A-3U GRAEME - SOUND CLINIC, but matrix/runout is somewhat different on Side B. It follows:Matrix / Runout (B-Side Runout Groove): ILPS 9694 B-1U ISSP 4006Those two codes are in stencil type one above the other. On another part of the record in a more handwritten font "ILPS 9694-B" is repeated. Even more curious is the fact that the label lists "Times 1.(7:45) 2.(5:46) 3.(3:31)" on Side B. So the label is correct to the catalogue number of this release, but incorrect to the actual vinyl.All of this is actually quite an annoyance to me since I bought the record specifically because it was the UK pressing and I wanted the extended UK mixes for my collection. While the record does have the 8:33 minute version of "Loveland", it is missing the 7:45 minute version of "Cake" and the 5:46 minute version of "Throw That Beat In The Garbage Can". My copy of the record is particularly clean and is in great shape (VG+) both in terms of the media and sleeve. I wish it had the right songs!!!I am curious if anyone else has encountered this misprint and if it would be valuable. I would think not, but one never knows. If someone wants to trade a correct version, I would be happy to as long as it is in the same stellar condition. I would even just trade the record, because I am more than happy with the condition of my sleeve and it does not differ in any way from the standard release.

I've now started listing my collection and I appear to have the same copy as yourself. Mine also has the Island labels with the palm tree so they also differ to the ones listed
