There are several US pressings/label variations for this album.

This one is an earlier pressing with the Warner Bros "notebook" design on the  lighter/beige background with the horizontal lines and just the  1 WB shield logo at the top. WB switched to the white-shadow (or "ghost") logos  label around May 1983, just a few weeks after the album's release.

Pressed by Allied Record as identified by their "?" logo, etched in the runouts  and mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk (RL) who is  also credited as engineer on the jacket.

Cat # 1-23774 appears on the label, and Cat # 9 23774-1 appears  on the spine and inner sleeve, bottom-left.

Promo copies have gold "Lent for Promotional Use  Only....." stamp somewhere on jacket (see photo)

Visual Condition Grades:

MINT     This record looks perfect, with NO flaws what so ever on the surface. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. SEALED or opened.

NM, NM+/M-     This record appears virtually flawless. Very little wear can appear on the vinyl. It will play without any noise over any flaws, if any/ very clean vinyl.

 EX, EX+    This record will still sound very nice, there may be lite surface noise or a random few taps between songs -(no skips there or constant repeating taps), still sounding VERY clean through most of the record.

 VG+/EX-    Some scuffs will be on the surface. Scuffs that don't create long surface noise persisting for a long length of time--a bit loved and played harder than EX/NM.

 VG    Record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye, maybe even a blemish under the surface of the vinyl not effecting sound. If the flaws/blemish don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. 

 GOOD     A good record will look very well played, dull. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. It will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively snaps or repeated clicks, caused by deeper scratches.
