additional information
PVC Records changed the cover design, moving the title to the top of the sleeve. This was to allow the album's title to be easily seen whilst flipping through LPs in a shop rack.

They also changed the label design - the blue swirl was used first, followed by the yellow/blue triangles.

The inner sleeve was printed on very thin, flimsy glossy paper - it's easily bent and torn.

Virgin America reissued the album in 1987 (Virgin 7 90858-1). They reverted back to the original UK design of the sleeve, but neglected to reproduce the inner sleeve.

format
CD in jewel case with 4 page booklet.


release date
July 2001

Produced by John Leckie
Marketed and distributed in 2001 by Disky Communications Europe B.V.
Re-cover design: Ocheda Grafische Creaties, Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands.


additional information
This reissue by Disky smartened up the original sloppy CD release by Virgin: it used the same front cover design but created a better booklet, put together smart new graphic inlays for the transparent CD tray and back cover, and finished off the package with a picture CD featuring the band.

A large number were produced so copies are still easy to find.
