Pressing Notes

This is the original 1991 European vinyl pressing on Epic Records, catalogue 468884 1 / EPC 468884 1, and is retained in its original shrink wrap. European vinyl copies were issued in 1991, making this an original-period pressing rather than one of the numerous later reissues.

The original European edition was issued with the 11-track album and a printed inner sleeve containing lyrics and additional information. Copies retaining their original shrink are particularly desirable to collectors, as the shrink has helped preserve the sleeve over the years.
