[Incidental info:] This is another release that was manufactured by the infamous PDO Company [UK], hence this CD is prone to disc rot. Re: CD Rot: New replacement discs were issued [late '90s / early 2000s] by PDO [PMDC], they show matrix & mould SID tags: Disc 1: matrix SID = IFPI L134 + mould SID = IFPI 0461 - Disc 2: matrix SID = IFPI L134 + mould SID = IFPI 0436
