- INNERSLEEVE: plain white polylined paper innersleeve, upper corners clipped (probably not the original innersleeve)
- 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.
