Notes

This is the April 1st 1982 Initial 1st pressing that comes with an obi strip that has a red box on top with white text that reads ”イニシャル・プレス5万枚特別大型カラー・ポスター付!" roughly translated to English would be "Comes with special giant color poster limited to Initial 50,000 pressings!" (means poster inside).

The Japanese releases have an extra track on side 2: B3 Total Eclipse

Comes with a matte paper obi strip, a 4 page insert with monochrome photos/lyrics credits outer pages parallel to the inner sleeve bags of releases from rest of the world but with Japanese liner notes, photo discography and Japanese lyrics transcriptions on the inner pages as well as a giant A3 size color poster.

NOTE, page 3 of the insert has no fan club information under the discography and page 4 has the UK Fan Club printed at the last line of the credits like the rest of the world's inner sleeves. Subsequent Japanese releases have this text removed and Japanese Fan Club information is printed under the photo discography on page 3. Also on the backside of the obi there is a phone number printed. Subsequent obi's have this phone number removed.

        Did this album come with an inner sleeve? Or just a 4 page booklet and the poster? If it didn’t come with an OIS does anybody have one they want to sell me?

          I think I have a Frankenstein. I have the standard OBI of the 2nd pressing but the poster is included.

                  The version with the poster has a red line on the top of the OBI strip.
