FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes – Line Records released the album in Germany in 1982, alongside the UK edition on Kamera (KAM 005). Line's later 1986 white-vinyl reissue carries the number LILP 4.00126.

How is the album split across the sides?
Each side runs about half an hour: side A ends with "Winter (Hostel-Maxi)", side B starts with "Winter 2" and closes with the ten-minute-plus "And This Day".

What do Media NM- / sleeve VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means almost like new. VG+ (Very Good Plus) for the sleeve means light signs of use – here minimal shelf wear on the edges. More on our Vinyl Grading page.
