Track 4 is a cover of a Mana Mana song called El?m? on murheen laakso even
though the booklet claims that it is a cover of a Mana Mana song called
Murheenlaakso. The error is due to the fact that El?m? on murheen laakso was
first released in 2000 since it was an unrecorded song written by Mana Mana`s
mainman Jouni M?mm? who commited suicide before it could be properly recorded.
