Notes

Inner sleeve: lyrics, credits, artwork
Some copies may have a sticker about contents on the sleeve front (see images).

LP was reissued in 1986 with the single version of "No One Is To Blame" replacing the original album version. Catalogue numbers for both versions are identical.

This version was used as a German promo copy (containing a "PR-Copy" sticker on the back and a German 'Product Facts' sheet which has a different track order: the last tracks on both sides are reversed and "Why Look For The Key" is missing).
