Cat# on labels: 200 776
Release title printes on spine and center labels only

Initial German releases came with printed inner sleeve with lyrics and credits.

The subsequent release with cat# 200 776-270 was issued without printed inner sleeve.

This version is pretty sure 1981, see bass clef. Later versions from 1982 would have the distributor Ariola Group of Companies and the label perimeter text spinning all around.
