Notes
Second reissue, in a plain sleeve with white/orange/black artwork derived from the original cassette release and identical to the 1980 repress.The plates used to press these records are actually the same ones used to press the 1981 reissue. The difference being that the hand-etched catalogue number has been crossed out and a machine-etched matrix number with the new catalogue has been added to the pressing.
As with the 1981 reissue, the run-out groove on side one also states: "The words were on the ceiling" , perhaps referring to this being a reissue as the run-out grooves on the original had read: "The words are on the ceiling".
Music and lyrics arranged and performed by Humphreys/McCluskey.
Recorded and mixed at "The Gramophone Suite," Liverpool.
℗ © 1980 Virgin Records Ltd.
Manufactured in the UK.
