Notes

Pre-final edition with generic EMI label design. A final edition was released after the label design was adjusted.

Specific label changes were the removal of "Sound recording by Factory Records. First publ. ℗ 1980 in U.K.℗ 1980 Factory Records" found above the boxed section only on this release AND removal of the the (duplicated) "FACOZ-1001 A" and "FACOZ-1001 B" found inside the boxed section only on this release.

This release (only) was also first issued in a wrap around 24 x 12 inch "open sided" inner sleeve page (see images). Copies of this release were also issued with the slightly later fully enclosed standard inner sleeve of the (above linked) final release.
