Comments

The second reissue from Yellow Dog to replace the 'one track' mis-presses previously released and boy was it worth waiting. In 1990 this title was difficult to come by, and still is if you a re looking for an original, this led to the release of various cloned albums on other labels.

This is very much the position still , the labels have changed but this title is still very available as a clone or Yellow Dog Fake with a choice of artwork and packaging from slip case to digipak.

Artwork

	Gatefold Cover	Inner Art	Booklet	Inner Tray Art	Comment
	N	N	N	N	White Paw on All Logos


ORIGINAL Sharp , with a dark Yellow Dog logo with a white paw Natural Skin tones on Cover	Rxx FAKE Enlarged cover , John's left hand missing - YD logo is just a fuzz Recreated tray ? Sharp Logo has NO white Paw.



Early 5xx issues Slightyly fuzzy enlarged + raised artwork, Yellow Dog on cover is clearly degraded and there is an orange tint to colour.	Late 5xx issues I have only seen one copy and the cover looked to be an Original I have assumed for now that this was a mixed set. Washout rear , leaving a very yellow dog , NO white paw
