New Zealand“New Zealand pressing with different labels from [url=https://www.discogs.com/The-Cure-A-Forest/release/1045039]A Forest[/url] release. Issued in a generic sleeve and considered that it may be a promotional release, however, there is no claim or mention of this on the labels. Differences between this release and the more widely known New Zealand release with a picture sleeve: • Song titles and song writing credits are printed above "The Cure" and within quotation marks. • Production and licensing credits are at the bottom of the labels, and not in the middle. • Font style is smaller. • Each side is represented by a numerical digit, opposed to a "Side" and "One" or "Two" spelled out. Original sound recording made by 18 Age Record Co. Ltd”
