FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original was released in 1984 on EMI. This is the 2014 Parlophone reissue, cut from the original analogue master tapes according to the band.

Which songs are the best known?
The singles Aces High and 2 Minutes To Midnight open side A; side B closes with the long track Rime Of The Ancient Mariner.

What does “New & factory sealed” mean?
The record is unplayed and still in the manufacturer’s original shrink wrap, so it carries no Goldmine grade.
