"Hungry Like The Wolf" is the "Night Version" mixed by Colin Thurston, most easily identified by 5:14 track timing, all other tracks on Side A  are the so-called "US Mixes" remixed by David Kershenbaum. Remix credits had been added to the inner sleeve, compared to 2nd edition.

[Note on the different US releases of 'Rio':
All 'Rio' lacquers, cut in-contract by TML and Precision Mastering, show a "Z" in the runout matrix and had been consecutively numbered.
Except Z-1 and Z-4, the numbering system counts A- and B-side lacquers separately and was used for all three album variants.
By these Z-numbers, the pressing plant, the album variant and the side of the record can be identified:
[l313266: Z4 (Var.1,A+B)
[l314605: Z1 (Var.1, A+B) / Z8 (Var.2+3, B) / Z12 (Var.3, B) / Z13 (Var.2, A) / Z16 (Var.3, A) / Z17 (Var.3, A) / Z20 (Var.3, A)
