Notes


A variant of the early european issue.
On both versions “Talk Talk” logotype on center labels is the same as the one printed on the 1982 debut single Mirror Man, but this version has a plain purple side A label, with no credits.
Another reissue, with the same back sleeve, has “Talk Talk” printed in standard font on center labels.
A very similar version, with standard font logo on labels, has an additional “Direct Metal Mastering” logo on back sleeve.
A later reissue, with “DMM” logo, has a different catalog number (038 1 57786 1).

    Here we have a beautiful album by Talk Talk and this Europian/Holland pressing sounds amazing. The sound is fresh, punchy and crispy.
