Other Info:
The release uses the cat# of the original vinyl release. It seems to be an unofficial release, though there is no valid info on this available so far. Vox Humana Records seems to be from Italy, but it could also be a Russian release. At least the copy that was used for this submission was sold from Russia. The release is a mixture of a miniature copy of the Original Bronze/Island vinyl release, the Cohesion Remaster CD and the Air Mail Archive Papersleeve Edition CD. It comes with a lavish miniature gatefold cover and a paper inner sleeve restoring the original artwork faithfully. The CD has vinyl imitating print with centre label. Also it comes with a standard CD booklet which is more or less a copy of the Cohesion Remaster version with slight differences. In all it is a very accurate and complete release, though most likely a plagiarism.
The credits in the booklet are split into "Original Album Credits" and "1998 re-master credits". No writer credits are given on the release.
