      Fantastic album and great variety of songs. It sounds amazing and the red vinyl is beautiful to look at. This must be one of their best albums ever. It Rocks!!

        The merging the two versions of the album was not done right. My copy i still red, with the artwork only in the middle. Its not a picture disc.

          My variant of the red vinyl's matrices: (both the long numbers match, so not noted here. The A1, B1, etc. is in the same position as above, noted in the current variant):

          A1 60842 I
          B1 60842 II
          C1 60843 II
          D1 60843 III CB

          CB is handwritten only on side D very near the label, inner runout. The "C"'s lower circle runs straight into the "B". I guess it must be Chris Bellman who cut the lacquer on this one too, but needs verification. He doesn't usually sign his initials this way.

          Edit 08.04.24: It is cut by Cicely Balston at Air Studios. (That explains the different style of the CB etching)

          Sounds fantastic, just as the Hot-Pink one in my collection. Better sounding than the CD version. Voice is more clear and separated.

            The assai version should have an own entry because it is different.

              Wow… this album rocks. I can’t find a complaint about the album or the pressing. Sounds amazing. The red looks fantastic. It’s so bright it almost looks like it’s glowing.
