    i just came across a very strange vinyl of this album. The front has the normal front picture, but its all in some sort of orange color. It is not a gatefold. The back has the song lyrics. There is no inner sleeve. The markings on the album say: Stereophonic
    BOS TON (yes with a space)
    DONT LOOK BACK
    AKS 1231

    The songs are just like the regular album. Song list printed on side 1 and side 2.
    Anybody know what this is?

        I mostly put this one on for the triple punch that opens the album. Exemplary 80s AOR rock.

          does anyone have a version where the 2 biscuts have been pressed incorrectly and off center, leaving 2 holes in the record?

            Does anyone else have a version of this with a blank orange epic label on side 2...no text at all?
