Notes

Issued in a 2-sided 6- fold-out outer poster sleeve. No picture inner sleeve. Disc held in a die cut white paper sleeve.
Gripper rings are moulded at the circumference of the labels.

This release is for the paper label version which has no lacquer cutting engineer scribe in the runout. A similar version that does show such a scribe is The Walk.
Before this release, one sided posters (same artwork) were given away with the single.

    Hi...
    I have a copy misprinted: on each side is print “the dream” but on A side plays the walk (B side is correct).
    Does anybody know something about this issue ?
    Does anybody have the same copy as mine ?
