Notes

First issue with twin logo over a red dragon on the labels.

Inner sleeve is black paper over plastic polyethylene, white Virgin logo and data over black background.

On center label side B, track B5 is divided in two parts numbered 5 (Muddy Mouse (c)) and 6 (Muddy Mouth), but is actually only one band on the vinyl. On the record sleeve, track B5 is listed as "Muddy Mouse (c) which in turn leads to Muddy Mouth" (with the two song titles "Muddy Mouse (c)" and "Muddy Mouth" in italics) indicating that this track is two songs that segue (the linking phrase "which in turn leads to" being a reference to a lyric from Muddy Mouth).
