Notes

Gatefold sleeve

Pressing Variation: EMI Pressing identified by runouts.

Variant 3 - Both inner sleeves have printed at the bottom edge:- ENVELOPE MADE IN WEST 321 - LFN 11 / 84
(if this is related to this release it is for a later pressing as this was originally released in the UK in March 1984 and not November as the detail on the inner sleeves suggests).
