Reviews

Eno_Fan Aug 24, 2017
Many thanks to Luke55 and paulrosborn for supplying and uploading pics of this release. However, I think that these pics must be of the 1979 original release as the labels clearly bear dates (℗ 1978, © 1977), and I can't see why this would be considered an undated reissue. Unless pictures of the undated release surface these two releases may have to be merged. The identity of the undated MFP CD release of this album remains a mystery also, and if this doesn't exist then the LP reissue (of potential digital stock) might not also.

The take-away from this is thus that any release of this disc that bears a label with a date must be the original...
