    Does anyone know if the CD version has been remastered since the original was issued in 1986? I see there is a 2008 Fiction LP that claims to be remastered but I see no other mention of a CD remaster.

      Stunning pressing. I'm never in the mood to listen these days but have had transcendent moments with this.

        I have a copy of this which only has a label on side A, side B is white. Anyone else seen that?

          F'n timeless tunes. When I think of the 80's this is my first stop.
