Notes

Minako Yoshida sings on "Yellow Magic (Tong Poo)" but is not credited on this release.

Repress / recut 1980 - the early pressings of this album have Horizon label logos on the labels - as with later pressings of the Firecracker single which are definitely dated to 1980.

    Entry title is incorrect. This is not a "repress" of the original/1979 UK issue. That release has matrices A1 and B1. This 1980 pressing has new matrices A-2 and B-2, meaning new lacquers were cut, thus this release is actually a reissue/remaster.

    A SH forum Paul Rymer testifies that the newer cut betters the original UK pressing.

      This is such a joyful album to listen to. It makes me smile with every play. If you find a copy, treasure it.
