This budget reissue used the same glossy blue sleeve as the first Virgin pressing. The LPs themselves were

additional information
The first reissue CD was simply a repressing of the original CD. The only changes to the artwork were the catalogue number
and the addition of a bar-code to the back sleeve. The album's title was correct on the front cover i.e. Real To Real Cacophony
but was still misprinted as Reel To Real Cacophony on the spine and back cover.
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.

additional information
This import CD, dating from the early 1990s (as it features a Clive Banks credit), features the usual confusion about the
naming of the album. Titled Reel To Real Cacophony the first track is similarly mislabeled as Reel to real.
