Notes

Very similar to release Paul Simon - Graceland.
- they have the same embossed sleeve but slightly different labels
- e.g. side 1 has 3 lines of text between the tracks and the Catalogue Number at the bottom, but the other has 5 lines
- no WX 52 on label

Center labels:
Made in

Back Cover:
Manufactured in (bottom left)

    First time I've owned this. Great album and a lovely sounding clean pressing.

      One of the best 80s pop albums. Especially the more African inspired second side. This pressing also sounds fantastic. I really love DMM.
