NOTES:
French promo version of the album with finished artwork, disc and issued in a stickered card sleeve.

Almost identical in design to the US promo version although the disc is grey rather than black and this version carries all the French record company information and promo text.

In comparison to the Japanese release this version misses out Right Now and These Days and includes the bonus tracks; All You Need Is Luck, Goodbye and My Balloon.

At one time various places stated that the songs I Like The Way It Feels and Already Bored would be featured on this version of the album but these are currently unreleased.

There was also an alternate sleeve for this album which had been featured on the Expansion Team website for some time (the sleeve can be viewed on the Naturally (CD, US) page).
