Original 1984 US pressed EG label 8-track vinyl LP - British progressive-art-rockers 10th album - divided in a more traditionally rock structured left side and a more free-form impro right side - a nod towards 1982's Beat and 1981's Discipline respectively.

Vinyl has the generic beige company labels with faint 'shield' WB logos and full colout top 'shield' WB logo - black text.
Vinyl is accompanied by a lyric inner sleeve - ultimately housed in a gold promotional issue stamped matt finish picture cover... simply suggesting a very early pressing as promotional issued were often culled from the very first copies pressed... also check the matrix information.
