Edited 10 months agoMy copy has a black polylined inner sleeve with the twins on a dragon virgin logo and virgin records address, can anyone confirm if this was original with the release? Mine also has three dots embossed near the center of the B-side label which match the three dots in the runout, anyone else have this? -
Edited one year agoI have the coloured twins label and black/white twins label of this album - the coloured twins version has a more rigid heavier feel to the disc. -

I couldn't agree with leonthepro more! The uk first press is brilliantly balanced and def the press to own of this!! -
Edited 7 years agoEarly repress first reviewed: https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/Magazine-Real-Life/release/249094
Sound wise this and naturally the original UK press both are great. Not overly loud or intrusive. Rather inticing like the interesting music itself. Good control even when the soundstage fills up with performances. Nice use of brightness as well as low end, not getting sibilant or sloppy. Just very well rounded and pleasing, on quiet vinyl too none the less.
Cant fault this old goodie, an original UK is a safe bet!
