Mispressed Italian First release

The initial Italian release of Bitter Sweet & Twisted used an incorrect master recording, with a different running order, omitting the single "Brother Louie" and the tracks "Don't Bite The Hand" and "Ain't Love Blind", while "My Saint Jude" is replaced by a demo version entitled "My Sweet Little Girl". "Can't Get Through" was added as last track. The tracklist printed on the back cover, booklet and CD is as in the official releases.
