I suspect it is a bootleg. How can the title box design of this release be identical to Secrets Of The Beehive, two years after this release? I don't believe it's a coincidence and I believe it's a bootleg. -
I don't think this is a boot, the catalogue number, runouts and so on are very similar in style to some other Australian releases on Virgin from the same year that are definitely official (Sandii & The Sunsetz Battery and East Meets West singles plus the album Banzai Baby). It is much more professionally made than any of the other bootleg versions. -
Strange that some other sources (including davidsylvian.net) do confirm it being a bootleg. For a bootleg it looks and sounds very professional, hard to believe it is a bootleg after all. :)
