Runout information:
Record Service Alsdorf used U.S. based stamper discs (sons) to press them in ('R/S Alsdorf', 'GER'). The above-mentioned sons were manufactured by Allied Record Company (ARC). The plating / metal work were made at Sheffield Lab Matrix ('SLM') as subcontractor for the ARC – identified by the 'delta' numbers (‘SLM △ 9288/89’; '-SH2'), as well as the [Allied 'ɑ' logo]-stamp along with ARC's manufacturer matrix numbers (R-14160/1).

Parts like "R/S Alsdorf 929006-7 A 2" and "R/S Alsdorf 929006-7 2 B2" are stamped, the rest is etched.

Remark:
The artist appears as 'a-ha' on the sleeve and as 'AHA' on the labels.
