Beautiful copy. Stored in audiophile sleeve

Notes:

[r18582688] is very similar, but pressed by Specialty Records Corporation.

Comes with a one-sided insert sheet for mail-order of this album, the Snakedrill EP, and Colin Newman’s release on this label.

Recorded at Hansa Tonstudios: Winter 1986

Runouts are etched, except for MASTERED BY CAPITOL (which is stamped.)

Lacquer-cutting credits printed on the back sleeve for [a=John Dent] and [l=The Exchange] pertain to the original UK pressing and are irrelevant for this pressing. Mastering/lacquer cutting credits for this pressing are based on information in the runout grooves.

“△” in the runout etching indicates that the lacquer disc was processing and plating was done at Sheffield Lab Matrix.
