NOTES:
Japanese CD edition of Extra Acme issued with triple-panelled DigiPak sleeve with Obi strip and insert featuring English lyrics and biography in Japanese.

There was a promo-only vinyl edition of this album also issued in Japan, featuring the same songs (although some are alternate versions) and a different running order.

The rear and cover artwork features images of Giovanni Ribissi, John C Riley and Winona Ryder taken from the Talk About The Blues video which was also used on the UK single release of this track.

In 2010 Shove! / Shout! Factory released a two-disc expanded edition of Acme + Acme Plus.

Advert for Acme, Extra Acme and Ura Acme from Japanese two-sided February 1999 tour flyer which erroneously gives the release date as 21 February 1999 rather than 21 January 1999 as it is printed on the actual Extra Acme and Ura Acme releases:
