- RELEASED: Probably one of the first Music for Nations UK editions released in late 1984 or early 1985.

This is actually a UK edition made in France by a UK label for the UK market.
- NOTE 2: This one sounds much softer and even somewhat muffled compared to the release right below.

- NOTE: This is a excellent quality though slightly stuffy sounding vinyl.
In fact this is one of the best quality (if not even THE best quality) Finnish made vinyl I have ever played.

- PACKING: standard clear jewel case with clear tray
- RELEASED: Probably the last repress of the first Finnish reissue just before the first remastered edition.
Originally released in 1997 with different cover art and tracklist.
- NOTE: Due to the clearly different outlook of this CD, booklet and back cover paper compared to the standard Sony DADC quality and some misspellings and mistakes I
seriously doubt this was pressed by Sony DADC in Austria. In fact, at a quick glance the CD appears to have been pressed from an official DADC Austria glass
master but B7 is not etched like in all the other Sony DADC made CDs I've seen, the booklet and back cover paper are of significantly different and worse quality
than their normal Sony DADC made counterparts and the booklet has some misspellings on cyrillic alphabets or whatever characters meaning there is a
chance this is not an official release after all. If this is NOT an official pressing then this is the best damn quality pirate I have yet seen.

- RELEASED: Reissue made in 2007 based on the runouts, most likely also released in 2007.
- OTHER: Includes insert. Originally released sealed with infosticker on the front on shrinkwrap.
- NOTE: The pressing quality of these records is excellent with perfectly flat and perfectly centered records.
However, the RI vinyl material quality and coloured vinyl eats the edge off from guitars and because of that I like the 2015 MK cut edition just a little bit more.
Still, I like this the best of all the vinyl editions of this album since this one has better pressing quality than the 2015 edition and a very good quality cut.

Released on 28th of October 2022 (source: Backstage Rock Shop, Spinefarm Records webshop and various other webshops).
- OTHER: Originally released in a resealable clear plastic sleeve without any stickers on it.
- NOTE 1: The cover is pretty much just a reprint of the 2015 edition with only updated copyright year and (C) (P) marks on the back.
The innersleeves also still carry the cat# of the 2015 edition.
- NOTE 2: The pressing quality is significantly worse than in the red/black 2007 reissue above as my copy was already warped when I opened it from shrinkwrap
and these records sound dull compared to the 2007 Unity and the 2015 MK cuts.
- NOTE 3: The original release date was 18th of October but it was pushed 10 days ahead.
- NOTE 4: This was cut by the same plant as many recent reissues of Finnish albums and singles like the reissues of Eppu Normaali Valkoinen kupla and Kahdeksas ihme
albums and Hurriganes Blue Suede Shoes and Children of Bodom Downfall singles. All these releases come in a resealable clear plastic sleeve with a glue flap
meaning they were most likely also pressed by the same plant.

For some reason the corresponding black vinyl has the same barcode on the back cover and the same cat# on the spine as the 2015 edition.
The innersleeves still carry the cat# of the 2015 edition.
- NOTE 2: The pressing quality is significantly worse than in the red/black 2007 reissue above as my copy was already warped when I opened it from shrinkwrap
and these records sound dull compared to the 2007 Unity and the 2015 MK cuts. The red vinyl look VERY neat though.
- NOTE 3: The original release date was 18th of October but it was pushed 10 days ahead.
- NOTE 4: This was cut by the same plant as many recent reissues of Finnish albums and singles like the reissues of Eppu Normaali Valkoinen kupla and Kahdeksas ihme
albums and Hurriganes Blue Suede Shoes and Children of Bodom Downfall singles. All these releases come in a resealable clear plastic sleeve with a glue flap
meaning they were most likely also pressed by the same plant.
