Lyrics: Kerr
Music: Simple Minds

additional information
The artwork was designed to be as close to the original as possible with the sleeve, inner sleeve and labels all based on the original Zoom-Arista pressing.

The raised bumps of the original Arista pressing were too expensive to replicate and, unlike the CD issue in the X5 box set, were not graphically added to the sleeve. However, the colour of the sleeve is not plain blue, but has an underlying texture, which graphically replicates the matt unfinished card feel of the Arista originals. It is therefore like the later Arista pressings which didn't feature the raised bumps.

Recorded: Summer '80


additional information
The artwork was designed to be as close to the original as possible with the sleeve, inner sleeve and labels all based on the original Zoom-Arista pressing.

The UK originals had a separate lyric sheet included with the album. However, like the European pressings at the time, this was now reproduced as an inner sleeve.

Rather than replicate the same standard dark-blue Arista labels, the rarer light-green labels were reproduced instead to give some variety to the set. The same colour labels were also used as the basis of the CD labels in the X5 box set.
