The "DIDP-098174 # A0#" portion of the matrix information is mirrored on all variants.
Made in U.S.A.
Track 1-8 is listed as "Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go" on the back cover/inner tray and inner booklet, but the actual track is only the single version of "Tainted Love" as evidenced by the track length. It is NOT the extended 12" version medley which runs close to 9 minutes.
Track durations obtained from software.
