Additional Information

Again, the most desirable version of the LP was the Arista original. This was packaged with a separate lyric sheet (in the UK) or an inner sleeve carrying the lyrics (in Europe). In addition to the lyrics, both featured extra credits and band photographs.The original cassette version of the album, also from Arista, did not feature a lyrics sheet.

Interestingly, the lyrics for Room were missing, and I Travel had an extra unused verse.

The hard core collectors can search out the pressings with green labels. Both Real To Real Cacophony and the majority of Empires And Dance pressings featured Arista's standard dark blue labels with silver type. Some copies of this album have light green labels with black type.

When Virgin reissued the album the extra lyric sheet was not included.
