      I have one of these pressings. Great album.
      The late Alan Murphy is the main guitarist and his playing is awesome. Gary Husband on drums, a very technical player with tasty chops. Nothing sounds as good as World Machine or Running in the Family but it’s still a good album.

        A solid album, which came out the year I was studying in London (form the US) and which became the soundtrack to that period in my life. It's hard to be too critical of something so visceral, so I'll just say it was really well recieved by my friends who also loved Level 42, but it took me a while to accept it as the new direction of the band. I wonder if I still have the copy I bought then....it must have been on cassette, as I didn't have any sort of portable CD player to travel with, nor a turntable.

        My copy of this LP, bought just recently, has the promo stamp, hype sticker and also contains a glossy 8x10 (the band image from the cover) and some pages from the press kit. I'll try to add photos for the record soon.

          I love this album! I have 2 LP copies! The original CD, I had a HORZU reissue from
          early 90s. The 2000 remaster double CD with RITF has a different mix of 'two hearts collide' on it! The sequenced bass is far more prominent in the mix and it's 40 seconds longer. I'm sure it was remixed by Tom Lorde Alge for a single.
