Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
The band name is listed as "The Enlgish Beat" on the spine of the release (a misspelling of "The English Beat"). Due to legal issues (and to reduce confusion), The Beat released material in the United States and Canada under the name "The English Beat" as there was already an American band named "The Beat" lead by Paul Collins.
Only obvious difference between this release and The Beat At The BBC (Worldwide 2025) (opens in a new tab) appears to be the presence of Bernie Grundman as lacquer cutting engineer in the runouts of the North American release.
