Absolute GOLD! One of the best records I have. Timeless end of the world music!

Clear as a goddamn bell, this pressing is elite. It sounds amazing and the extended remix is great too. And the picture sleeve? It's worth getting if you really love this track.

Picked up a second hand copy, seems to look in decent condition, but it's rendered almost unlistenable due to the noise in the left channel. Styrene strikes again!

Is the short version on Side A the UK remix?

Lime Green at a stretch, this was only ever released at a Yellow, Green and Red pressing

Yes this has tinges of green streaking in it - NOT Lime Green

This is the only 12" record I personally have ever encountered that had the record label stamped into the vinyl. Labels like this were common on 7" releases in the 70s and 80s but I don't know of any other 12" examples.

What does the word Styrene mean on particular this record?

Outstanding pressing, worth the extra bucks. You won't regret it.

I may have an even rarer version of this single. Mine came with a typewritten (on a Typewriter, on Chrysalis letterhead) lyric sheet.
