Notes

Gatefold cardboard sleeve with reversal artwork and corresponding spine, (only in the mfg. construction glued-seam location does it imply that the blue "landing" cover is the front, yet in most cases the cover hype sticker was placed on red cover).

The booklet contains a list of thanks, sample information, an actual "The Race For Space" time line, a photo of each person involved in the recording process and an essay by J. Willgoose, Esq. The back of the booklet states:

Track 9 ends with an instrumental part, separated from the real track by 70 seconds of silence. As mentioned in the booklet the artist "added a short ambient piece - an attempt at a kind of 'call of the moon'-type instrumental - to suggest that there is some unfinished business, and we might, one day, send another manned mission to the moon."

From booklet:

"This record has been mastered quieter than most modern albums in order to preserve its dynamics. PSB do not like the loudness wars. Listening to it may therefore require judicious use of the volume knob. Thanks!"
