This reissue was released in June 1988. The pressing itself was simply the previous Virgin pressing with the

sleeve. The glossy outer sleeve was the first Virgin issued with a OVED 211 sticker hiding the
original catalogue number.

additional information
The artwork was the same as the original Virgin pressing (complete with the Side One and
Side Two labels on the back of the sleeve). The only other addition to the artwork was the inclusion of a bar-code.
Some had "Virgin Value" stickers on the front of their jewelcases.
Virgin also sent out promo issues. These were the same as the commerical versions, but had blue promo stickers over the
bar-code.
