Notes
The US version of 'The White Room' was strongly edited for its official commercial release.
It has a total playing time of 39:39, and it contains 9 tracks.
The original UK version presents the first five tracks ('What Time Is Love?' through 'Last Train To Trancentral') as a kind of 'mini-concert' with sampled crowd noise from, among other places, U2's 'Rattle And Hum'. All five tracks are segued and mixed.
It has a total playing time printed of 45:05, but in reality it's only 43:54. It lists 9 songs, but only has 8 indexed.
The US version eliminates the crowd noise, with some tracks fading out near the end. This is probably as the crowd noise was sampled from a Doors album and hence the obvious copyright problems.
It also has the single mix of 'Last Train To Trancentral' instead of the mellower UK album version, edits 'No More Tears' down from 9:24 to 6:42, and adds a little more wind noise at the end of the closing 'Justified And Ancient'.
The Japanese version follows the US format, with the single version of 'Last Train To Trancentral' replaced by the 12" version of that mix. In addition, it includes three extra tracks.
On 23rd April 2021 the 'Director's Cut' of the album was made available through streaming services and was the first time the original 1989 cut of the record had been officially released.

Picked up a decent copy of this record in a bin for just $4 one year ago. Great and fun record!referencing The White Room (LP, Album) INT 145.549
This album is magical, and this version slaps. Available at a price from Europe mostly, or from a seabed somewhere for those prepared to swim/dive.referencing The White Room (CD, Album, Stereo) ARCD-8657
"What Time Is Love? (LP Mix)", sound system masterpiece. °°°°°referencing The White Room (LP, Album) JAMS LP006
This album was a great disappointment at the time. Like someone already mentioned earlier, it was made deliberately cheesy for whatever, possibly subversive, reasons. Or maybe they just wanted to do the "final cash-in" which they did in the end by burning the money and deleting the catalogue! The first release of "What Time is Love", Chill Out and the early Orb connection was their best stuff.referencing The White Room (LP, Album) JAMS LP006
I have this album with no sleeve and what an album it is...,, whoever has the sleeve stole a great sleeve with the wrong record in it so that will teach them hahaha. If anyone knows where i can obtain a sleeve i would be eternally gratefull...referencing The White Room (LP, Album) JAMS LP006
Why did this one shoot up in value? My Dad gave this to me as a gift 4-5 years ago, he found it for $15 from a shop that religiously uses Discogs for pricing.referencing The White Room (LP, Album) JAMS LP006
Outstanding like the video for 3am Eternal your sucked into the mu vortexreferencing The White Room (LP, Album) JAMS LP006
Excellent pressing from an album I have since new. Some classics but I never play it through as I find some songs to be utter shite. Just my opinion of course.referencing The White Room (LP, Album) JAMS LP006
I have just found a copy of the vinyl in my collection in my loft. I actually now remember buying it way back when , pretty sure I've a few of their CD singles also.referencing The White Room (LP, Album) JAMS LP006
Where does it say this is not official? This was the original UK vinyl release...
