OMD* – Maid Of Orleans

The monotonic sound in the beginning of Maid of Orleans is later used in Neophyte - None of ya left. Total different genre but funny to recognize

Is this "Joan of Arc" or "Maid of Orleans"? (aka the Waltz Joan of Arc). This cover was used in the UK for the latter.

I found this somehow in a US record store, not sure how it came overseas as it's a rare UK copy. I was surprised about the "Experiments in vertical takeoff" B-side listed on this copy but unfortunately it's just a misnomer, such a song was never recorded or conceptualized when the sleeve was printed. Perhaps one day...

I have a white label of DIN 40-12 in a plain paper sleeve but is only recognisable due to the cat. no. being scratched into the run out groove. But mine differs in the fact that mine is one-sided and the reverse looks to have tracks and breaks between set out like an album would. Without looking again at this item I would say there are 6 tracks, and are all blank when played. Can anyone shed any light on this for me please?

My copy of the release matches this with a printed silver sword and wings on the front, a printed silver back, and "Of All The Things We've Done" listed as one of the b-sides on the back. The silver printing as mentioned is definitely not white, as per the 3rd issue listed, as it clearly differs from the hands and face

The sleeve itself is worth possessing this gem - the music speaks for itself, and for decades. And never gets old. Nor one gets tired of listening. Timelessly beautiful. Oh world, where did you go wrong after this?!
