Original Vinyl Copies released in the UK and Europe included an inner sleeve showing the group recording the LP. Initially there were two releases in the UK which both used the same Catalogue Number: AHALH 8007. One was manufactured in the UK with Ariola Hansa 'Rainbow' labels and was pressed on thick vinyl by Pye Records. The other in Germany which had 'Black/ Silver' labels which was pressed using thinner quality vinyl. Furthermore those produced in Germany used a slightly different Ariola Hansa Logo on the back of the sleeve.

There is a third variation which was manufactured around 1981/ 1982 whereby a small red triangle with "Made in '33' Germany" was printed at the botton of the vinyl label.

This is the UK pressing. Select 'here' to view the version which was pressed in Germany with 'Black/ Silver' Hansa labels.
