Notes

This is the first edition sleeve for the release, featuring a forest green background with gold type. There were two different editions of the record released using this sleeve:

1) Original version of "Ceremony" (without Gillian Gilbert). Side A groove etching: "Watching Love Grow - Forever".

2) Re-recorded version of "Ceremony" (with Gillian Gilbert). Side A groove etching: "This Is Why Events Unnerve Me". This version of the record was also released in the new white & blue sleeve, but there were green sleeves left over from the original pressing which were used rather than being discarded.

"In A Lonely Place" is the same on both versions. Side B groove etching: "How We Wish We Were Here With You Now"

The cover and runoffs of the record states the catalogue number as FAC 33 (the same as the 7"), but the label states it as FAC 33/12 denoting the 12" release.

Although the label has the date 22/1/81 as part of the artwork, this release is believed to have come out later.

In A Lonely Place does appear in two slightly different versions, corresponding to the different takes of Ceremony on the A-side of the various 12"s. It's only a slight variation in the vocal effects, but the difference is there.
