Notes

This differs from another similar release in terms of the disc artwork: this release lacks the stylised atomic pattern around the centre hole.
The bottom half of the matrix number has run off the silver, so most of it has been inferred from the portion of the numbers that are visible (and by comparison with the catalog no. and the release from which this has been copied).
