Notes

Released in an outer sleeve, with a 29.5 x 29.5cm insert sheet with lyrics on one side and credits and rave on the other. Outer sleeve fits into a beige-coloured plastic sleeve (see images) with clear spaces on front and rear sides: the clear space on one side is in the shape of the "Sprint" logo (the outspread hand); the clear spaces on the other side are in the shape of smears that expose (when the outer sleeve is fitted correctly) the head of the stuffed kangaroo, and the target in the upper right corner of the cover.

    Were these all sold with the outer sleeves? I bought my copy very near the time of release and don't recall ever having the plastic sleeve.
