Notes
Whilst not directly printed on the label, this release is generally known to be manufactured and released in Hong Kong, with an (unconfirmed) number totalling 500 copies.The release used commercial UK gatefold sleeves and included the lyric / info insert. 'Manufactured in the U.K.' is only stated on the sleeves and not the disc itself.
Unlike the UK counterparts - the labels are white with black lettering and misspell 'Basically' as 'Basicallly'.
The matrix / runouts are the identical to the UK release.
Recorded at Highland Studios, Inverness, Scotland, January 1985.
