Comments

The second reissue from Yellow Dog to replace the 'one track' mis-presses previously released and boy was it worth waiting. In 1990 this title was difficult to come by, and still is if you a re looking for an original, this led to the release of various cloned albums on other labels.

Artwork

ORIGINAL Sharp , with a dark Yellow Dog logo with a white paw Natural Skin tones on Cover	Early 5xx issues Slightyly fuzzy enlarged + raised artwork, Yellow Dog on cover is clearly degraded and there is an orange tint to colour.	Late 5xx issues I have only seen one copy and the cover looked to be an Original I have assumed for now that this was a mixed set. Washout rear , leaving a very yellow dog , NO white paw	Rxx FAKE Enlarged cover , John's left hand missing - YD logo is just a fuzz Recreated tray ? Sharp Logo has NO white Paw.
