- 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.

The cover is identical in this, metallic silver and white vinyl editions.
- NOTE: Also released on clear vinyl, white vinyl and grey vinyl.
The clear vinyl is limited to 100 copies and not sold to the public (source: Relapse Records webshop, "do not request clear").
The silver metallic vinyl is often intentionally mixed up with the grey vinyl edition which comes with an extra infosticker. If there's no extra infosticker then it's
definitely not the grey vinyl edition.
The grey edition is also limited to 100 copies and sold at MDF metal fest, Relapse Records does not give any information of this edition on their shop.
