Release notes
- This release has 31 in runout which means a 'UK local' CBS Haarlem pressing.
- Runout inscriptions can be stamped/etched/or both, depending on the variant. Matrix no's variant 13 has number '2' etched over original number '1'.
- Some copies came with a 1988 Artist Calendar which was advertised for on a hype sticker. The poster features the pictures of Terence Trent D'Arby, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson and George Michael and the birthdays of these artists are marked on the poster.
- Post manufacturing variations exist: later added club edition stickers with ID no. "CBSCL 15 071-4". There may be also some other variants of the club ed. sticker in existence with other ID no, but these are as of now not mentioned in the database.

Record grading guide
Every record is graded visually (and play-tested when in doubt) using the Goldmine standard — the same scale used by Discogs sellers worldwide. Media and sleeve are always graded separately.
| M | Mint — perfect, usually still sealed. We use this grade very rarely. |
|---|---|
| NM | Near Mint — looks barely played. No visible marks, plays clean. |
| VG+ | Very Good Plus — light signs of use, minor sleeve wear. Plays great; our most common grade. |
| VG | Very Good — visible wear, may have light surface noise that doesn't overpower the music. |
| G+ / G | Good — plays through without skipping but with noticeable noise. Priced accordingly. |
| F / P | Fair / Poor — filler or collector copies only. Always described in the notes. |
Anything worth mentioning that the grade doesn't capture is in the seller notes on each listing.
