Additional Information

The UK pressing of the album featured a 'plastic' inner sleeve with extra graphics and track information. More desirable for the collector however was the limited edition white vinyl version of the album. These were housed in stickered sleeves (as shown above with the sticker at the top right of the sleeve).

Another notable limited edition was the transparent pressing from Canada (Virgin VL 2274). Virgin Canada also produced a promotional sampler based on the album called Sparkle Through The Years, plus a little promotional notepad - the first of the 'non-standard' Simple Minds promotional items.
