- INNERSLEEVE: Plain white polylined paper innersleeve, die-cut from both sides to show the center labels (not the original innersleeve).
- RELEASED: Most likely made and released in 1992.
- OTHER: Includes poster.
- NOTE: This is a really poor quality vinyl as my copy has HEAVY surface noise in playback even though it first appears to be like new. In addition both sides are full of
small bumbs on the playing surface and the B-side is pressed significantly off-center. The cutting quality is pretty good though.
