    Question - if this album debuted on the billboard chart May 30th, 1987, how was it not released until june 17th?

      Yellow is the first pressing. Green is the ones after that.

        I have two first 1st edition copies. One cover is a very light green/yellow (similar to photos), one is green. Does anyone know how the cover color variation was determined for this release?

          I'm almost certain I have a US original pressing and my copy is Green, not like the yellow reissued version.

          Any assistance is appreciated.
