Notes

This version is mastered by Ray Staff and omits "Bilbo" -credit from the runouts. Back cover also has an ad for "O.M.I.T.D. Songbook".

The first 10,000 copies of Organisation came in a grey sleeve and a bonus 7" EP (DEP 2) featuring 4 live tracks recorded during a 1978 gig at Eric's Club, Liverpool.

This version was officially released at the same time as the first version, but was only introduced once copies with the grey sleeve and
free EP were exhausted.

Initial copies of the black-sleeved Organisation featured an advert on the back cover for an OMD songbook:
"O.M.I.T.D. Songbook 'Music 77-80' available from your local music dealer £3.95 or +50p p&p from mail Order Music, Camden House,
7 High Street, Newmarket, Suffolk."

Made in England.

The stamped A in A side runouts appears as the usual partially stamped ⋀ typical of CBS Aston Clinton pressings.
Runouts are etched apart from the 'stampers' A (⋀), C + 2 following the catalogue number + side identifier.
