Notes:

℗©1984 Polygram Records, Inc. Manufactured and marketed by Polygram Records, Inc., 810 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019. Printed in U.S.A. Also available on cassette 818 476-4 M-1. Recorded at Le Studio, Quebec, between November 1983 and March 1984.

This version carries the number 0704 on the back cover in the bottom right corner. Also, the number 56 that's printed at the 6 o'clock position of both labels, refers to the number of the Columbia Records Pressing Plant, in Pitman, New Jersey (the Pitman Plant was known to have pressed for PolyGram labels, which were indicated by a 56 code on the label). On the inner sleeve, right under the publishing details of the thank you list, another number, 521 can be found [see images.

Of note is [see variations at 'Barcodes & Other Identifiers' that matrix/runout variations of this version exist with on Side 1 the hand etched initials "BK" right after the MASTERDISK stamp in the dead wax [see images. The "BK" initials stand for mastering engineer Bill Kipper, who works at Masterdisk. So although the inner sleeve of this release states Bob Ludwig as the one who mastered the album, it's clear that Bill Kipper either mastered Side 1 or cut the lacquer for it. Upon close inspection, it's also clear that the hand writing/etching of Side 2 is completely different than that of Side 1, with Kipper's initials. Matrix/runout numbers of Side 1 are also divided by dots; on Side 2 it's done with dashes.
