This is Michael Ruff's 2nd studio album, a 7-track mini LP released in 1988 in a ltd edition of 1000 cd's (the back cover inlays each being printed with an individual edition number). According to a rather reliable source who i spoke with (Ruff's own website correspondant) via email regarding this cd's history apparently there really were only about 1000 pressed of the cd in the jewel case edition (as pictured), though there were a further 2,000 or so pressed of the same disc that were put into slim cardboard slip-type covers mostly to send out to radio stations and distribute at Michael's tours of the time. The latter had an alternative cover artwork with a photo of Michael holding a small keyboard device of some sort. I am unaware if there was a vinyl version of the album, but i tend to think not as i have never heard of one existing, or seen any evidence in 15+ years online collecting.
The cd was distributed by the French record label LA Califusa (I believe the label is now closed).

Detailed album credits visible on back cover (see additional images uploaded).
