Issued and reissued on every possible format all over the world through the years. Initially on vinyl in a couple of European and South American countries. US 2002 limited ed. remastered 2xLP on Real World Records (PGLP 10). First German had label as shown here in a stickered fully laminated cover and inners containing lyrics, credits and one small pic for each song. (GYÄ*) (GÖXÄ*)
