Notes

This version was 100% definitely pressed in Australia, and was sold there only. There was a New Zealand pressing Roxy Music - Avalon manufactured and released in NZ at the same time, and that LP was exclusive to New Zealand.
All 3 components of this: the LP cover, the inner sleeve, and the vinyl were manufactured in Australia and each has its differences to the Australian pressing, specifically the label design (plus the labels on this have a 'flat rim' as opposed to the NZ-unique raised-rim). The card for the cover, and the printing-finish of the inner sleeve, are markedly different too.
That both covers have identical text on the back cover, including: "Marketed in Australasia by Polygram TV Merchandising Division under exclusive licence.", is irrelevant here as it was not entirely true at all.
Each pressing was specifically distributed in the country it was pressed in.

Different labels to Roxy Music - Avalon. The labels in this release are not marked with 'Stereo' to the left side of the spindle. The 'Side One' and 'Side Two' indicators are printed directly underneath the spindle and not to the right of the spindle as per other issues. The matrix numbers in this issue are printed underneath the catalog number and directly above the spindle.

Issued with an inner lyric sleeve.
