No barcode

Some initial copies of this CD were manufactured in Japan. Some copies have black ink on the rear insert, and some olive green. Some booklets are printed on heavier stock.

CDs that have MPO imprinted around the middle clear plastic circle are later represses since the MPO mould text means that it was pressed between 1988 and 1989.

1984 - 1987: no mould text
1988 & 1989: mould text COMPACT DISC MPO
1990 +: 4 numbers in mould
