Notes

Published by B Music 1983.
A Factory Record.

Printed cover without cut-outs. Plain white inner sleeve. Double dipped centre label and translucent brown when held up to a light.

The coloured strip is not random - it spells out the Catalog#, band name and both song titles.
The back cover of "Power, Corruption and Lies" has the same colour coding, done with the alphabet (a decoder ring).
