Notes

Rare release on single LP, both Yugoslav releases (also on audio cassette) have got track sequence unique in the world: they contain all twelve tracks as like common double LP releases but permuted, very probably in order to balance the track durations on each side to make mastering possible without any track omitting, thus the side 1 plays about 28 minutes and side 2 about 27 minutes. Includes 31cmX31cm four page booklet out of paper with monochromatic photographs (also unique in the world, they are colour ones elsewhere) and lyrics (in the original track sequence) - in fact a 62cmX31cm sheet of paper folded in the middle. Liner notes (obviously by Sting but not credited) and credits are printed on back cover. Another specific of the Yugoslav release is the strange fact that the liner notes are not identical to the ones on other releases in the world: notes about the song Fragile are completely omitted and there are some typos - "I fixed himm" instead of "him" in the note about album title; "deperted" instead of "deported" and "rerely" instead of "rarely" for Englishman in New York; "countri" instead of "country" for They Dance Alone.

"Mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk, New York" printed on back cover does not apply to any other release except to the original USA LP one. (This release is mastered at PGP RTB).

    Agent Sting is Captain or even Colonel, and he fought for a corporate common law, at least in his own 10 words.
