Notes

On hype sticker:
Rock's First All-Digital Recording.
Originally in plastic inner sleeve with WB logo in blue.

Album digitally recorded on 3-M multi-track digital equipment.

This record is essentially an exact copy of the master tape and was not treated with any equalizing or limiting during transfer to disc.

An extra comma was unknowingly placed in between "Records" and "Inc." in the second and last mention of "Warner Bros. Records Inc." It is right next to the former word.
