12. High Tide On The Sea Of Flesh (8:23)
13. Goodbye Sky (6:09)

Catalogue number: unknown. American promo release. The tracklist is incorrect (as the track times suggest). Cleopatra had sleeves pressed and did not update them to suit the new tracklist. The tracklist here is unique to this promo, and The Mello Hippo Disco Show features an extra eight bars in the middle which appear nowhere else. Otherwise, the mixes of the songs suit the Final Mix of the album. This version was the intial leaked version onto the internet in 2002. The correct tracklist is:
01. Elysian Feels
02. The Mello Hippo Disco Show
03. Goodbye Sky Reprise
04. The Lovers
05. Go Tell It To The Trees, Egghead
06. Yes My Brother
07. Guru Song
08. Osho
09. Her Tongue Is Like A Jellyfish
10. Meadows
11. High Tide On The Sea Of Flesh
12/13. The Galaxial Pharmaceutical (split into two tracks during the silent section).
