Notes

The cover has "Head Over Heels" on it in the text at the bottom that promotes the singles taken from the album (other than that, it is identical to this version.) It was likely released on or after June 1985 (when "Head Over Heels" was released as a single in Canada.) Also, it has a red "Digitally Mastered" triangle in the top right corner of the cover. The cassette shell is opaque black with a repeating pattern of small squares in a grid around the edges, and it has paper labels.
