out there in the darkness, our there in the night, out there in the starlight,

additional information
The LP's sleeve was a large, glossy colourful gatefold. Therefore the drab plain black inner sleeve and unremarkable black-and-white mostly-typed labels were something of a let down.

A large number were produced so it's still plentiful today.
