Notes
This version was 100% definitely pressed in New Zealand, and was sold there only. There was an Australian pressing Roxy Music - Avalon manufactured and released in Australia at the same time, and that LP was exclusive to Australia.
All 3 components of this: the LP cover, the inner sleeve, and the vinyl were manufactured in NZ and each has its differences to the Australian pressing, specifically the label design (plus the labels on this have the NZ-unique raised-rim as well). 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.
Includes lyrics insert

Com Point, Nassau.
The Power Station, New York.

Perfectly flawless, everything about this is perfect.
Sound quality is through the roof, the background is silent and I mean silent throughout, jet black.
High quality inner sleeve, lyric inner.
Highly recommended, an absolute audiophile must have.
