Notes

Japanese LP with Gatefold insert & Obi. Obi strip indicates that the LP came with a limited edition poster; however this was not packaged inside the LP sleeve it was supplied separately, rolled, so it is very rare to find copies with it. There were two posters allegedly supplied with this pressing; the first was a group shot (similar to the one on the lyric sheet), and a later one was of David Sylvian singing live.

Made in Japan by Victor Musical Industries, Inc. Licensed by Virgin Records Ltd, England.

Recorded at Air Studios and The Townhouse Studios, London.

This version comes with a different obi strip compared with Gentlemen Take Polaroids.
