This is the original US release. There is a UK release that has the same catalog number. However, the two releases are different. The front covers vary on the size of the border, whereas the rear covers, whilst using the same images, are laid out on opposite sides to each other. The US and Canada releases show the images on the left-hand side. Europe and remaining releases show the images on the right-hand side.
Another major difference is with the track listing on the A-side of both releases; the UK release starts with "Astradyne" and ends with "Sleepwalk." Both releases share the same track listing on the B-side.

Reviews
Edited 5 years agoObviously Cybotron's "Alleys of your Mind" sounds really similar to Mr.X, but the fact are these:
1) this kind of electronic drumming is typical of these years, neither Juan Atkins nor Ultravox invented anything.
2) The ultravox song has just one component of the famous equation by Derrick May about Techno. This song doesn't show any influence from Afro-American Funk, one of the two components of Detroit Techno.
This song (Mr.X) is a beautiful example of New Wave Electro, beautifully crafted, melancholic, but it's like a Kraftwerk+Vangelis sum, instead of a futuristic Kraftwerk+GeorgeClinton sum, like Cybotron's track is....- It is very interesting to listen to 'Mr X' on this album and contrast it with Cybotron's later 'Alleys of Your Mind'. Midge Ure clearly invented Detroit techno.
