Notes
Talk Talk's third album, released in March 1986.
It became the band's highest selling non-compilation studio album, reaching the Top 10 in several countries. It did not quite match the sales of its predecessor in the US and was their last album to enter the Billboard Top 200.
It was musically a major step away from the synthesized pop of early Talk Talk, with a sound described by the band as much more 'organic' than their earlier records. The improvisation that was to dominate their later works became evermore apparent in the album's recording process.

Mostly dead quiet. One of the best I own. 10/10.referencing The Colour Of Spring (LP, Album, Reissue, LP, Compilation, Purple, All Media, Unofficial Release) EMS-81751
If anybody has a copy of this for sale, can you please message me? Many thanks- Just noting another variant. The first part is the same as Var 1 and 3 listed as read from the data side "CDP 7 46228 2 AR. @ 1 + +", but the other section read from the label side is a bit different, "1-5-3 CAPITOL JAX 6".

Beautiful pressing ! I didn't expect a surprise like this... Clear, dynamic, well balanced... Superb !- For anyone who knows Talk Talk from their earlier synth and drum machine music this album is a total revelation, real musicians and real instruments, superb compositions, stunning mastering, this is a beautifully crafted album and won’t break the bank to add to your collection
