Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Prior to Aug. 2017, this release represented the picture-sleeve release, regardless of finish and rear perforation; now it is just for the glossy unperforated sleeve. Very similar editions:
Close (To The Edit) (UK 1984) (opens in a new tab) has a matte unperforated sleeve.
[a release not yet submitted] has a matte perforated sleeve.
Close (To The Edit) (UK 1984) (opens in a new tab) has a glossy perforated sleeve.
"The Art of Noise are Close (To The Edit)" / "The Art of Noise realise it's A Time To Hear (Who's Listening)"
"ps nought one becomes number forty one in ztt's questioning incidental series."
Cat# appears as ZTPS 01 on sleeve and ZTPS01 on centre labels.
Artist appears as The Art of Noise on sleeve, but as Art of Noise on centre labels.
Additional centre label text (A): a/fraid / all together now / borrowed from Who's Afraid of The Art of Noise
Additional centre label text (B): b/leave / all together now / a concentrate of Who's Afraid of The Art of Noise
Runout notes: The last 2 numbers and the last dash in between them are stamped in a larger typeface, sometimes very faintly. "J.J.'s 1st Cut" is hand etched, and the lowercase letters in this transcription are small caps in the actual etching.
