Reviews
- It's not clear from this entry that these are two LPs in individual sleeves shrinkwrapped together, with sticker on front. (Virgin also released Simple Minds' "Sons And Fascination"/"Sister Feelings Call" in this format round about the same time).
- Great comp but the volume level can vary from track to track meaning you have to keep the remote at hand!
