℗ & © 1979 Do It Records Ltd.
Made in Gt Britain

This third pressing of the album (manufactured in 1981) has a woman sitting on a chair the same as the second pressing on both labels rather than the Do-it speaker logo.

Black & white printed paper inner sleeve with a rounded thumb-cut, with credits, lyrics and pictures.

The Do it Records address on the back of the album sleeve has a PO box number rather than the full address as on previous pressings.

The Ʊ symbol in the matrix represents the Utopia Studios lyre which is etched in the run-out area.
"7.1.81" date is etched on side B runout

Copies of the 1981 pressing housed in a 1980 sleeve exist: the vinyl disc has the date '7.1.81' in the matrix, while the record sleeve bears all typical marks of the '79/'80 releases (for differences, see below). The inner sleeve may also have the 1980's characteristics (e.g. different thumb-cut, thicker paper, ... ).
