Early (first?) pressing. Black labels with small rainbow 'Epic' logo.
Sleeve is a non-metallic warm gray. Rear artwork has label logos on the bottom right.

Version with different labels, metallic silver sleeve and label logos on the bottom left is here.

Compilation of tracks from the self-titled first album and Organisation.

This compilation is often confused with the first repressing of the first album, due to them having nearly identical artwork.

Can anyone with a copy of this confirm whether Track B4 Messages is the album version, or the single re-recording? The credits list Mike Howlett as co-producer, which would seem to indicate that it's the single version.
