Notes

First edition with a single line of label rim text, as opposed to 2 lines found on later issues. Further, this version does not include an embossed bass clef symbol 𝄢 on the side B label. This helps to identify this issue as a first edition, as the bass clef did not start to appear until 1981.

[Erratum]:
Track A3 is misprinted as 'Some Kind Of Fool' on the sleeve back; however, the label states and the vinyl plays, 'Burning Bridges'.
