[DE: 540 150-2.
US: 31454 0150 2.
The tracks listing is too long and boring to write. Includes
a 64-page booklet. The US and european verions differ slightly
in the packaging. Also they differ in the "Don't stand so close
to me '86" versions. European pressings are also numbered].
[note from B. Baker: The German version contains The extended remix
of DSSCTM '86, while the US version contains the regular version.]

This is an almost exact transcription of "Pre-synchronism"

Records 09].
