This is the promotional copy of the Japanese 2008 Paper Sleeve 'Mini-LP' remastered CD. It is a 'mirror' of the original gatefold 1983 LP using the same artwork. It comes with an Obi written with Japanese text. However, unlike the original vinyl release which had two records, this only comes with 1 CD. On the back of the sleeve is a promotional sticker written in Japanese. The CD has Japanese text in the centre which translates to 'PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY - NOT FOR RESALE'.
Tracks 1, 8, 9 & 15 are studio recordings. All other tracks were recorded live November 1982 at Hammersmith Odeon, London.
Cover Painting: 'Head of J.Y.M.'II, 1980 by Frank Auerbach.
