Notes
- Grey labels, therefore released at earliest mid-1985. The first pressings had black/blue labels.
- "Made in Holland" on labels and back cover
- ℗ 1984 CBS Records on labels
- ℗ 1984 CBS Records/© 1984 CBS Records on back
- Some copies came with sticker as seen here (promoting 4 songs of the album) or with other, bigger sticker (promoting 5 songs) as seen on Diamond Life.
- Different timing from labels and cover.
- Similar to Diamond Life but without a barcode and a different price code.
