I have a copy of the Dutch Vinyl LP 1A0642400341A with the usual inlay sleeve & lyrics however it has a different picture sleeve. The front cover is headed 'ad-vice en de risico's van het vak ' then a large picture of 4 persons climbing mountains and the The Flat Earth Thomas Dolby,the back cover is of 7 men in ski outfits and covered in snow. Does anyone have any information on this.

Thanks.

I have always felt that this is a vastly underappreciated record. While most loved the 'Golden Age of Wireless' and waxed poetic about it being an early electronic record...The Flat Earth clearly stole the show for me. The production on this record for 1984 is astounding. What you get here are deep and emotional songs that are crafted and not at all formulaic and that aren't drenched in that self-important 80's artist aesthetic. Dolby was light years ahead of his time with this one. A very nice record to chill to.
