The first US version , issued by Columbia-CBS 's CBS/Sony imprint , excised the instrumental " The Wreck of the Fairchild " ( loosely based on the 1972 Uruguayan plane crash ) and added the two sides of Dolby 's first single , " Leipzig " and " Urges " . Additionally , Columbia swapped the original synthpop version of " Radio Silence " for a much more rock-oriented version that had previously only been available as a single B-side in the UK . Columbia also opted for the single edit of " Airwaves " and abandoned the original UK " comic book " cover in favour of a shot of Dolby on a stage during the production of Bertholt Brecht 's " Galileo " . This image had previously been used as the cover of the " Europa and the Pirate Twins " single in the UK
