Mispressed Italian First release

The initial Italian release of Bitter Sweet & Twisted used an incorrect master recording, with a different running order, omitting the single "Brother Louie" and the tracks "Don't Bite The Hand" and "Ain't Love Blind", while "My Saint Jude" is replaced by a demo version entitled "My Sweet Little Girl". "Can't Get Through" (issued as B-side of the "Brother Louie" single) was added as last track. The tracklist printed on the back cover, booklet and CD is as in the official releases.[2]

  2. "White Trash Blues"
  3. "Can't Park Here"
  4. "King of New York"
