Inlet prints and thanks

The initial Japanese vinyl LP edition had a 'gate-fold cover', and included 12" x 12" (30 cm x 30 cm) photos of all five band members, with brief bio-notes on the back[8] (the printing is of hand written data by the band member whose photo is on the front), plus a booklet with the song lyrics printed in both English and Japanese. The initial French editions also had a gate-fold cover and included the photos, but not the lyrics. The Canadian version did have the gate-fold cover, but didn't include either the photos or the lyric inserts. The album was never released in the United States. A 2004 Compact Disc version was issued by Cherry Red UK, after Phonogram dropped the album from its catalogues.
