Notes

Prior to Aug. 2017, this release represented the picture-sleeve release, regardless of finish and rear perforation; now it is just for the glossy unperforated sleeve. Very similar editions:
Close (To The Edit) has a matte unperforated sleeve.
[a release not yet submitted] has a matte perforated sleeve.
Close (To The Edit) has a glossy perforated sleeve.

"The Art of Noise are Close (To The Edit)" / "The Art of Noise realise it's A Time To Hear (Who's Listening)"
"ps nought one becomes number forty one in ztt's questioning incidental series."

Cat# appears as ZTPS 01 on sleeve and ZTPS01 on centre labels.

Additional centre label text (A): a/fraid / all together now / borrowed from Who's Afraid of The Art of Noise
Additional centre label text (B): b/leave / all together now / a concentrate of Who's Afraid of The Art of Noise

Runout notes: The last 2 numbers and the last dash in between them are stamped in a larger typeface, sometimes very faintly. "J.J.'s 1st Cut" is hand etched, and the lowercase letters in this transcription are small caps in the actual etching.
