“Remastered 2005. Comes in a CD sized papersleeve album replica, with Obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese (also includes English lyrics). "First released in the UK in May 1983 on Bronze Records, catalogue number BRONZE BRON 545. First released as a re-mastered CD by Castle in 1997 as ESMCD572 with three bonus tracks. The vinyl version of the album was released worldwide with a single sleeve cover." The credits in the Japanese booklet are totally wrong. It says that John Sloman was the lead singer on this album (which is wrong), and it also lists credits for the songs "It Ain't Easy" and "Out On The Street", which are not included on this album at all. Bonus tracks 12, 13, 14 and 15 recovered / mastered and mixed by Robert M Corich at Terrapin Nest, Red Steel Studio and Studio 125 in 1990 and 1992 and Waves Studio, North Miami January 2005.”
