Annotation

This release is the version with the rough or textured labels pressed by Orlake. This has the characteristic raised rim around the edge of the label. There appear to be three variants for the rough labels:
Variant 1 - with matrix ending in a reversed C instead of number on both sides
Variant 2 - one side with reversed C paired with the standard B//2 matrix
Variant 3 - A//2 paired with B//2
Released on a pink Island label with black block logo, in a fold-out cover.
'Day Is Done' & 'Way To Blue' track listing is reversed on cover. Label is corrected and album plays 'Way to Blue' followed by 'Day is Done'.

Made in England.
