Notes

This release comes in a full glossy sleeve (UV coated), it is very similar to the other UK & Europe version of Tracy Chapman's album, but that other one comes in a matte sleeve. The difference is the sleeve and runout groove infos, both are otherwise identical in label, innersleeve and lyric sheet design. Embossed WEA logo at back sleeve lower right corner. This glossy sleeve variant is believed to be the first pressing of this album.

On back cover: "℗ © 1988 Elektra/Asylum Records for the United States and WEA International Inc. for the world outside of the United States. [...] // Manufactured in . Pressé en Allemagne. Record Service GmbH, Alsdorf".
From dustbag: "Digitally recorded and mixed at POWERTRAX, Hollywood, CA".
Mastered at MASTERDISK, NY. Direct Metal Mastering (see runout groove).
Comes with lyrics/credits/photo on dustbag and a sheet with translations of the lyrics into Italian, French, Spanish and German.

On labels: "Published by (G.B. only) SBK Songs Ltd."

    My copy has misspelling of her last name on the spine. It reads "CHAPMANN". Does anyone know about this?

      This has the OG Masterdisk US plates pressed on silent German vinyl. Buy without hesitation. It sounds incredible.
