Additional Information

Comments First reissue of the original 1980 release.

Non die-cut matte grey sleeve with a 10x10 pattern in orange, identical to the 3rd version die-cut sleeve.
Issued with a pink and black matte inner sleeve.

(This release is often confused with this [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/2311495]compilation[/url], due to them having nearly identical artwork.)


Chester Valentino was a pseudonym for OMD's then-manager Paul Collister.

There appears to be several different pressings in circulation.

One pressing has side A pressed with the original master; the run-out grooves state: "DID2-A1" and "Easy on the white noise". Side B appears to have been pressed with a new master as the run-out grooves state: "DID2-B2" and repeats "Easy on the white noise".

Another pressing has "DID2-A2" and "The words were on the ceiling" on side A and "DID2-B2" and "Easy on the white noise" on side B.

Yet a third has "DID2-A2" and "The words were on the ceiling" on side A, while side B uses a new stamper with a stamped runout: "DID 2 B-3U-1-1 — 1" (the last dash being a "1" stamped horizontally).
