German releases without a barcode: [r167498] with the bass clef, Im Ariola Vertrieb. [r5927193] with price code -270, Ariola Group of Companies. [r3379233] with price code -320, Ariola Group of Companies. German releases with a barcode: [r7226875] with price code F: RC250 [r702726]: with price code F: RC330 Sonopress: (runout and year): (i) Stamped additional Roman numerals I, II, III etc. appeared around 1981. (ii) The "bass clef" symbol, usually embossed on the B-side centre label (was introduced in spring 1981). Means: Although the absence of bass clef does not necessarily mean 1980, this seems correct here. "Around 1981" can also be 1980. So all versions with the bass clef are a repress or reissue.
