Prior to Aug. 2017, this release represented the picture-sleeve release, regardless of finish and rear perforation; now it is just for the glossy unperforated sleeve. Very similar editions:
Close (To The Edit) has a matte unperforated sleeve.
[a release not yet submitted] has a matte perforated sleeve.
Close (To The Edit) has a glossy perforated sleeve.

The Art of Noise are Close (To The Edit) / The Art of Noise realise it's A Time To Hear (Who's Listening)
ps nought one becomes number forty one in ztt's questioning incidental series.
