- COVER: simple cover without copyright info
- 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.

In fact this is one of the best quality (if not even THE best quality) Finnish made vinyl I have ever played.

From what I remember the speckle vinyl was a lot worse in many ways, sold it 1,5 years before getting this picture disc though.
