Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

Thin printed inner sleeve.
This LP entered the U.K. album chart on 18 December 1983, the same week 'My Oh My' climbed to No.2 on the U.K. singles chart.
Nb: The 1984 publishing date may be due to the original planned release date being brought forward by a few weeks from January 1984 to December 1983 to capitalise on the success of 'My Oh My'.
