Pressed By WEA Records Pressing Plant, West Drayton Mastered At Allied Records Ltd. Lacquer Cut At Tape One Recorded At SO36 Recorded at S.O.36 in Berlin on 13. August 1978 Since the late 1990's and early 2000's bootlegs of metalcovers appeared, recognizable that the original numbered only to 150 and the sprayed writing on the front side of the metalcover was much finer and thinner than on the bootleg. The inscription S.O.36 is dirty and more roughly sprayed in the fake, the difference is easy to notice.The metal plates were glued with black tape, the bootleg mostly with GREY-SILVER but also with black tape. The record is an original from the rest of the edition but not the metal plates. The fake copy comes sometimes with a A4 insert and a photo, the original not. In the original, the rubber seals have three grooves, the bootleg has usually only two.
The original copy was released with a gatefold metal cover in a highly limited edition (approx 50 copies for the musicians, and an additional 100 copies for sale).
