    I wonder what the story is with this alternate cover (US first press vinyl).
    • StuckintheRaelworld's avatar
      Incredible album from start to finish. “Sister of Mercy” is my personal favorite, but a lot of more well-known radio hits on this one, too.

        Couldn't agree with the other reviewers more if I tried. An amazing pressing and great music.

          A wonderful album. Lot of hit songs on it and the others are fine songs as well.

            New wave pop at its finest. The songs you recognize sound amazing on vinyl, but hopefully you will be enchanted with those less familiar.
            This pressing is really great, no complaints at all.

              Incredible sounding pressing. Very loud with no distortion. Not everyone will love the music but they should. :)
